HARPER'S  WEEKLY  FOR  1865.-VOLUME  IX. 


The  Ninth  Annual  Volume  of  Harper's  Weekly  is  completed 
with  the  present  Number.  The  foregoing  General  Index  and 
Index  to  Illustrations  will  suggest  to  the  reader  the  extent  and 
value  of  its  Literary  and  Pictorial  contents. 

The  year  now  closing  is  the  most  eventful  in  American  His- 
tory. The  Battles  about  Richmond,  General  Sherman's  March 
through  the  Carolinas,  the  Siege  of  Mobile,  the  Surrender  of  the 
Rebel  Armies,  followed  speedily  by  the  capture  of  Davis  and  the 
collapse  of  the  Confederacy,  the  tragic  death  of  Lincoln,  and  the 
operation  of  President  Johnson's  Reconstruction  Policy,  have 
each  in  their  turn  been  topics  of  the  most  intense  interest.  The 
numerous  and  accurate  Illustrations  of  these  events  which  have 
been  given  in  this  Volume  impart  to  it  unusual  interest  and  a 
permanent  value. 

This  Volume  contains  130  Portraits  of  Eminent  Writers,  Sol- 
diers, and  Statesmen. 

In  the  Editorial  Columns  political  events  have  been  the  subject 
of  abundant  comment;  and  while  it  has  been  the  aim  of  the 
Publishers  to  keep  the  Weekly  free  from  partisan  politics,  they 
have  not  shrunk  from  independent  criticism,  nor  hesitated  to 
advocate  that  policy  which  seemed  necessary  in  order  to  a  last- 
ing Peace  and  to  the  establishment  of  the  Union  on  the  eternal 
basis  of  Justice.  They  have  believed  Firmness  to  be  the  most 
essential  element  of  a  Genuine  Conservatism.  The  Editorial 
Comments  which  have  formed  so  prominent  a  feature  of  each 
week's  issue,  covering  subjects  of  financial  as  well  as  political 
interest,  would  all  together  make  two  large-sized  duodecimo 
volumes. 


While  Harper's  Weekly  has  thus  taken  a  decided  part  in 
the  Political  events  of  the  day,  it  has  not  lost  sight  of  its  original 
design  as  a  Literary  Paper.  Every  Number  has  contained  Tales, 
Poems,  and  Essays,  by  the  ablest  American  and  European  writ- 
ers. 

The  Circulation  of  the  Weekly  has  steadily  increased  from  the 
first.  The  average  circulation  for  the  past  year  has  been  largely 
over  100,000  copies  per  week.     On  some  occasions  over  200,000 


COpic 


have  been  sold  of  a  single  issue. 


The  Publishers  have  endeavored  in  the  Past,  as  in  the  Future 
they  will  endeavor,  to  make  the  Paper  indispensable  to  every 
intelligent  reader  and  to  every  family  fireside.  As  it  has  been 
a  Pictorial  History,  for  the  last  four  years,  of  the  War  for  the 
Union,  so  will  no  enterprise  be  spared  hereafter  to  maintain  the 
prestige  it  has  already  won.  It  will  in  the  Future,  as  in  the 
Past,  occupy  itself  not.  with  topics  of  petty  interest,  but  with  the 
grand,  moving  events  of  the  age,  justifying  its  well-earned  title 
as  "A  Journal  or  Civilization." 

The  Publishers  believe  that  the  Paper  possesses  a  permanent 
as  well  as  temporary  value.  Every  page  has  therefore  been  elec- 
trotyped,  so  that  they  are  able  at  any  time  to  supply  any  Vol- 
ume or  Number  from  the  commencement. 

Each  Volume,  containing  all  the  Numbers  for  a  year,  com- 
mencing with  the  1st  of  January,  neatly  bound  in  cloth,  will  be 
furnished  for  Seven  Dollars,  and  will  be  sent  by  Express,  freight 
paid  by  the  Publishers,  to  any  part  of  the  United  States  reached 
by  Express,  within  the  distance  of  three  thousand  miles  from 
New  York.

THE  NEW  TEAR. 

A  HAPPY  NEW  YEAR !     There  ore  few 
faithful  American  citizens  who  can  doubt 
that  the  new  year  will  be  a  happy  one,  because 

It   will    SCO    tllP    vi:!ll:i|   OY-'I'l  hfOW   of   flic    rebellion 

fv::,\n~-t  the  principle  of  free  popular  roiiviifu- 
tional  government;  the  i  coloration  of  the  Union, 
and  the  destruction  of  the  only  present  cause  of 
national  danger. 

This  is  the  moment  of  the  year  when  men 
examine  their  moral,  social,  and  financial  ac- 
counts; when  they  form  good  resolutions;  when 
^iivio  mm  horin  V<\  i 

journals  begin  new  volumes.  The  Ninth  Vol- 
ume of  Haimm.:'>  WriKiY  opens  with  this 
Number.  Begun  as  a  literary  end  social  week- 
ly journal  with  occasional  illusu  ntion-,  it  has 
become  a  pictorial  history  of  the  times  i-ikiim. 
part  in  the  greet  national  debate  which  fi:t-  Leon 
carried  on  in  the  battle-field  and  in  the  political 


,  constitutionally,  as  was  be- 
lieved, for  the  possession  of  the  Government. 
The  Weekly  maintained  a  strict  party  neutral- 
ity, and  aimed  to  interest  and  entertain  men 
of  all  parties.  But  when  the  political  debate 
ended  and  parties  were  annihilated  by  the  war 
waged  by  a  faction  against  the  nation  and  Gov- 
ernment, a  war  which  imperiled  every  public 
and  private  interest,  the  Weekly  declared  for 
the  cause  of  the  country,  and  has  maintained 
that  cause  ever  since,  and  will  continue  to  main- 
tain it  until,  by  God's  grace  and  the  patriotic 
valor  of  American  citizens,  it  is  permanently 

The  Weekly  has  defended  the  administra- 
tion of  President  Lincoln  not  only  because  it 
was  the  constitutional  administration,  but  be- 
cause its  measures  for  the  salvation  of  the  country 
have  seemed  entirely  honest  and  generally  wise. 
It  advocated  Mr.  Lincoln's  re-election  for  many 
reasons,  a  single  one  of  which  was  sufficient— 
namely,  that  he  represented  the  policy  of  an 
unconditional  maintenance  of  the  Government, 
and  his  adversary  did  not.  It  rejoiced  in  the 
result  not  for  the  personal  success  of  its  candi- 
date, but  for  the  overwhelming  evidence  given 
in  the  election  of  the  strength  of  the  free  popu- 
lar system  and  of  the  patriotic  purpose  of  the 

Grateful  to  the  army  and  navy,  by  whose  brave 

hands,  skillfully  directed,  the  great  war  has  been 
and  still  is  fought,  it  has  been  the  pleasure  and 
privilege  of  the  Weekly  to  depict  the  famous 
battles,  and  the  heroes  on  sea  and  land,  by  which 
the  salvation  of  the  country  is  achieved.  It  has 
thus  been  in  peaceful  homes  a  constantly  re- 
newed monument  of  the  bravery  and  suffering 
which  preserved  that  peace,  and  in 
and  on  the  deck  a  regnlai 
failing  sympathy  and 
soldiers  and  sailor?  are  followed  at  home.  With- 
al, the  Weekly  has  not  omitted  its  literary  mis- 
cellany or  its  careful  digest  of  news. 

It  is  but  another  sign  of  the  fidelity  of  the 
l  ■:•■:,)'  I,  ;■  ,.,  ihcii  .>■.■■.  n  G^o.-nmcHi  that  the  ronv-..- 
of  the  paper  has  been  so  cordially  approved] 
that  its  circulation  has  greatly  increased  despite 
■he  withdrawal  of  it?  former  Southern  support. 
Thankful  for  its  prosperity,  and  for  the  causes 
of  it,  and  hoping  still  to  retain  that  public  sym- 
pathy which  springs  from  a  common  devotion 
to  the  Union  and  the  principles  of  the  United 
States  Government,  Haiu'kh's  Wm-:i;it  utver- 
to  all  its  friends  the  v,  i-.'h.  which  it  believe-;  will 
be  a  prophecy,  of  A  Happy  New  Year  ! 


that  the  fat  wits  of  soldiers  like  Howell  Cobb 
never  knew  where  his  main  body  was  nor  whith- 
er he  was  going.  But  if  the  people  of  Georgia 
had  been  "fired,"  as  at  some  times  during  the 
war  they  have  undoubtedly  been,  they  would 
have  desolated  the  whole  region,  the  richest 
belt  of  Georgia,  through  which  his  course  lay, 
and  impeding  his  advance  by  the  total  destruc- 
tion of  roads,  crops,  and  bridges,  his  march 
would  have  been  delayed,  and  its  issue  most

if  December,  from  Chat- 
is  the  most  remarkable 
in  American  annals.  The  skill  and  celerity 
with  which,  by  incessant  strategy,  ho  pushed 
Johnston  back  npon  his  own  ground,  naturally 
favorable  for  defense  and  carefully  defended,  and 
the  equal  skill  with  which,  wrapping  himself  in 
a  cloud,  he  passed  resistlessly  from  Atlanta  to 
the  sea,  will  be  a  military  study  sure  always  to 
kindle  admiration  and  surprise.  The  chapters 
of  future  history  which  recount  this  campaign 
will  be  the  strangest  and  most  picturesque  of  the 
war.  The  man  whose  name  it  bears  will  be 
forever  memorable  in  his  country. 

The  consequence  of  the  capture  of  Savannah 
is  exactly  that  of  the  capture  of  New  Orleans 
and  Fort  Donelson  and  Vicksburg  and  Atlanta 
and  Chattanooga,  of  the  opening  of  the  Missis- 
i      i  I  ,    i        11  Mobile  Bay,  and  the 

march  from  the  north  of  the  Rapidan  to  the 
south  of  the  James  and  the  Shenandoah  vic- 
tories and  the  terrible  rout  of  Hood— that  is, 
the  consequence  is  the 
lion.     Jefferson  Davis  declares

they  inform  us  that  as  the  rebels  never  mean  to 
be  subdued,  all  steps  toward  subduing  them  are 
useless.  But  we  can  not  repeat  too  often  that 
such  talk  is  mere  folly.  Does  any  belligerent 
ever  mean  to  be  subdued  ?  Do  Jefferson  Da- 
vis and  his  Northern  parrots  suppose  that  their 
loud  vociferation  of  fighting  to  the  death  is  .a 
very  persuasive  argument,  in  view  of  the  march 
through  Georgia  made  "agreeable"  by  the  fact 
that  the  people  of  that  stare  do  »m  mean  to  light 
to  the  death  ? 

Mr.  Jefferson  Davis  and  his  crew  may  be 
as  gentlemanly  and  solemnly  resolved  as  their 
Northern  friends  announce,  but  the  laws  of  na- 
ture continue  to  operate  nevertheless.  And 
when  the  strategic  points  of  the  rebel  section 
are  held  by  the  national  army,  and  the  rebel 
forces  are  dispersed,  and  the  jealousies  that  at- 
tend a  losing  cause  begin  to  develop,  and  the 
truth  of  the  whole  question  begins  to  shine  into 
the  darkened  mind  of  the  Southern  States,  the 
chief  leaders  will  begin  to  escape,  the  war  will

SAVANNAH. 

"  Look  out  for  me  about  Christmas,"  wrote 
Sherman,  as  he  began  his  great  march  through 
Georgia,  of  which  wc  present  a  series  of  illus- 
trations to-day,  and  which, culminated  in  the 

capture-  of  Savannah  upon  the  22d  December. 
The  rebel  General  Hari.li-.,  with  the  bulk  of 
his  army,  escaped  ;  but  General  Sherman  cap- 
tured one  hundred  and  fifty  guns,  thirteen  loco- 
motives, one   hundred  and  ninety  cars,  three 

materials  of  war,  and  thirty -three  thousand 
bales  of  cotton. 

This  is  the  triumphant  completion  of  a  cam- 
j.dgn  which,  at  it-,  beginning,  every  one  must 
have  felt  to  he  daring  and  dangerons,  and 
which,  Keen  from  Europe,  appeared  in  its  just 
proportions  as  one  of  the  great  military  move- 
ments of  modern  times.  Its  success  was  clear- 
ly seen  to  be  the  proof  of  fatal  weakness  in  the 
rebel  section  and  to  foretell  the  doom  of  the  re- 
hellion— and  it  has  succeeded.  It  is  a  success 
which  can  not  be extennated^r  explained  away. 

General  Snr.R.M.VN  and  hia  army  moved  from 
GhatUmooga  to  At  bulla  because  neither  Joiin- 
ston,  nor  Hood,  nor  Jefferson  Davis,  nor 
the  rebel  Confederacv  eould  help  themselves. 
And  SniJiMAN  and  ins  men  made  "an  agreea- 
ble march"  from  Atlanta  to  Savannah  because 
the  people  of  Gemv.ia  did  not  care  to  help  them- 
selves,      lie    mashed    lii     movement,   indeed,  ;■>'.> 


JOHN  BULL  UPON 

'I'm-,  most  amii-ine.  reading;  of  the  day  G  the 
I5.riri-.li  ■  ;■■  -s  upon  Sm.-JMAN^  mai-ch.  Thai  lie 
is  a  great  fool  or  a  great  military  genius  is  the 
general  verdict,  with  all  the  chances  in  favor  of 
the  former  view. 

The  London  Saturday  Review,  for  instance, 
the  organ  of  the  dilettante  aristocratic  sympathy 
with  Slavery  and  the  armed  attempt  to  extend 
and  confirm  its  deadly  hold  upon  this  continent, 
remarks,  after  a  careful  statement  of  its  theory 
of  the  necessity  and'  causes  of  the  movement,  a 
with  the  evident  fear 
If,  however,  Sherman 
balance  of  ad- 
vantage during  the  past  year  will  have  been 
largely  in  favor  of  the  Confederates."  That  is 
a  piece  of  news  for  which  we  trust  the  rebels  will 
be  duly  grateful.  "  On  the  other  hand, "  it  con- 
tinues, "Richmond  would  be  in  imminent  dun- 
ger  if  Sherman  succeeded  in  reaching  Beaufort 
with  a  large  and  effective  army.  It  would  be 
almost  impossible,  against  such  an  addition  to 
the  enemy's  force,  for  Lee  to  maintain  his  com- 
munications with  the  South  and  with  the  West. 
Yet  in  the  last  resort,  he  could  easily  secure  a 
retreat  into  Tennessee,  where  the  Federals  are 
already  hard  pressed  by  some  of  his  officers" — 
General  Hood,  for  instance. 

"The  war,"  it  continues,  "would  certainly 
not  be  terminated  by  the  loss  of  Virginia,  if 
[there  is  virtue  in  an  if]  the  entire  country  to 
the  west  of  the  mountains  and  to  the  frontier  of 
Kentucky  were  occupied  by  the  Confederates. 

If  Lee  were  forced  to  evacuate  Richmond, 

be  would  probably  be  able  to  reconquer  Nash- 
ville, which  is  already  annoyed,  if  not  seriously 
threatened  by  the  operations  of  Confederate  de-

friends  in  their  dire  extremity. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  London  Spectator, 
friendly  to  our  Government,  has  a  masterly  re- 
view of  the  vast  difficulties  and  dangers  which 
beset  Sherman's  march,  "an  episode  calculated 
to  make  men  who  are  not  Americans  hold  their

may,  if  the  success  is  followed  up,  be  cut  in  two.

North  loses  her  finest  army  and  one 
efficient  Generals,  but  her  territory, 
her  people,  and  her  resources  remain  absolutely 
intact.  The  risk  in  any  view  is  a  fearful  one, 
by  the  successful  running  of  such  risks 
that  great  campaigns  are  won  and  great  Gener-

of  fine  powers  to  the  purest  purpose,  are 
known  to  all  who  knew  them,  and  in  the  story 
his  trying  time  will  remain  honored  and  con- 
Jut  there  was  especially  in  each  of  them 
distinctive  characteristics  of  our  nationality. 
They  were  both  of  them  men  who  believed  in 
the  original  rights  of  men  and  the  capacity  of 

tional  government^  and  the  consequent  necessi- 
ty of  public  education  and  the  elevation  of  the 
public  morality.  In  Paris  Mr.  Dayton  suc- 
ceeded a  series  of  ministers  who,  either  holding 
slaves  themselves  or  apologizing  for  Slavery, 
could  not  possibly  represent  that  faith  in  human 
rights  and  the  political  capacity  of  the  people 
wbiolj  distinguishes  America  from  every  other 
ry  in  the  world.  The  political  and  social 
philosophy  of  Mr.  Dayton's  immediate  prede- 


feudal,  and  no  man  who  believed  in  the  princi- 
ple of  the  American  Government,  as  held  by 
Franklin,  our  first  Minister  in  Paris,  could  fail 
to  see  that  such  persons  as  John  Y.  Mason, 
William  C.  Rives,  and  Charles  J.  Faulk- 
ner fundamentally  disbelieved  it. 

John  Slldell  represents  in  Paris  to-day 
exactly  the  spirit,  purpose,  and  political  faith 
which  were  formerly  represented  by  Rives,  Ma- 
son, and  Faulkner— a  faith  and  purpose  which 
every  humane  and  liberal  Frenchman  who  un- 
derstands it  sincerely  despises,  and  a  spirit 
which  is  essentially  hostile  to  that  of  our  Gov- 
ernment. In  the  midst  of  the  foul  intrigues  of 
American  gamblers,  slaveholders,  adventurers, 
and  old  partisan  tricksters,  of  whom  John  Sli- 
dell  is  a  type,  the  manly  earnestness  and  hon- 
est courtesy  and  noble  principles  of  William 
L.  Dayton  were  as  purifying  as  a  north  wind 
in  the  hot  miasma  of  a  swamp.  Hewas  himself 
a  vindication  of  the  cause  of  the  American 
"Union  and  Liberty,  as  Slidell  is  an  illustration 
of  that  of  national  ruin  and  slavery. 

So  likewise,  in  the  city  of  New  York,  Mr. 
Noyes  serenely  kept  the  same  faith  and  showed 
it  in  his  career.  There  was  no  wiser  counselor 
in  politics  or  in  law.  He  was  neither  timid  nor 
extravagant,  and  never  failed  upon  due  occasion 
to  speak  his  faith  with  that  tranquil  sincerity 
and  plain  dignity  which  arc  finer  vhati  eh^m-nce. 
Technioally  speaking,  Mr.  Notes  was  not  in 
public  life ;  but  when  he  was  sent  as  a  delegate 
from  New  York  to  the  Peace  Conference  in  1861, 
his  position  was  so  purely  patriotic,  and  all  he 
said  was  so  wise,  ami  firm,  and  lofty  that  in  the 
record  of  its  meetings  no  truer  statesman  ap- 

When  such  men  die  their  country  is  bereaved. 
In  a  time  of  civil  war  their  fall  is  like  that  of 
tried  Generals  in  battle.     For 
lives  and  words  inspire  the  faith  and  the  < 
age  which  make  armies  irresis 
in  the  national  heart  that  purpose  which  saves 
the  nation  and  civil  liberty  together. 


RETALIATION. 

live  the  prisoners  i 


they  took  i 


were  fighting;  Indians  who  burned  their  captives 
at  the  stake,  we  could  not  retaliate  in  kind.  We 
are  at  war  with  men  whom  the  long  habit  of  en- 
slaving other  men  has  imbruted  and  barbarized, 
and  who  starve  and  freeze  to  death  the  prisoners 
who  fall  into  their  hands.  Of  the  fact  there  can 
be  no  reasonable  doubt.  The  testimony  is  con- 
clusive. Nor  is  there  any  reason  why  men  who 
do  not  hesitate  in  time  of  peace  to  force  other 
men  to  work  for  them  without  wages,  that  they 
may  live  in  idleness  and  call  " 
tlemon,"  should  be  reluctan 
prisoners  to  starvation.  It  is 
to  starve  a  prisoner  who  has  been   fighting 


against  you  as  it  is  to  whip  a  man  to  death  be- 
cause he  will  not  work  for  you  for  nothing. 

What  ought  to  be  done?  It  is  a  question 
which  is  constantly  asked  and  is  not  easy  to  an- 
swer. It  is  estimated  that  we  have  some  sixty 
thousand  rebel  prisoners,  and  that  the  rebels  have 
about  forty-five  thousand  loyal  men  in  their 
hands.  If  we  exchange  them  man  for  man  we 
give  the  staggering  rebellion  a  fresh  army.  That 
is  one  of  the  purposes  of  the  rebel  starvation  of 
our  men.  Yet  how  can  we  relieve  their  un- 
happy condition  if  they  are  not  exchanged  ? 

Retaliation  is  a  policy  authorized  by  the  cus- 
toms of  all  nations.  It  has  its  limits  of  course. 
With  us  the  object  of  retaliation  would  be  to  put 
an  end  to  the  torture  of  loyal  men.  But  it 
could  not  use  torture  as  a  means.  Northern 
men  would  not  tolerate  it.  They  are  not  used 
to  seeing  women  whipped  for  so  loving  their  chil- 
dren as  to  try  to  save  them  from  being  sold  at 
the  shambles,  and  they  could  not  starve  helpless 
men  to  death. 

But  if  retaliation  does  not  admit  torture  it 
does  allow  death.  Retaliation  need  not  neces- 
sarily be  in  kind.  If  it  be  wise  to  resort  to  it 
at  all  m  the  present  instance— and  of  that  there 
must  always  be  a  question—then  for  the  Union 
prisoners  put  to  death  by  the  slow  agony  of 
starvation  and  exposure,  certain  designated  reb- 
el prisoners  should  be  shot  to  death.  When  two 
Union  officers  were  to  be  hung  in  Richmond 
the  prompt  order  of  the  Government  that  two 
rebel  officers  in  our  hands  should  suffer  the 
same  fate  saved  our  men.  So  when  the  reb- 
el officers  were  placed  in  the  trenches  before 
Charleston,  it  procured  the  release  of  Union  of- 
ficers who  had  been  put  under  fire.  And  when 
retaliation  on  either  side  has  been  carried  to  ex- 
tremity it  has  not  occasioned  a  general  massa- 
cre, as  some  unwise  persons  predicted. 

The  question  at  best  is  very  difficult.  No 
Government  ought  to  be  severely  censured  eith- 
er for  refusing  to  reinforce  its  enemy's  army,  or 
for  declining  to  destroy  prisoners  of  war.  To 
justify  retaliation  in  the  abstract  is  very  easy: 
to  advise  it  in  a  specific  instance  is  to  assume  a 
very  solemn  responsibility. 


PARDON  OF  Mrs.  HUTCHINS. 

It  would  be  a  great  satisfaction  to  know  why 
the  President  has  pardoned  Mrs.  Hutchins,  a 
woman  of  Baltimore,  who  gave  a  sword  to  Har- 
ry Gilmore,  the  leader  of  the  raiders  into  Mary- 
land last  summer,  and  by  reputation  one  of 
the  most  active  and  malignant  of  rebel  emis- 
saries and  abettors.  Upon  trial  and  conviction 
she  was  sentenced  a  few  weeks  since  to  fiva 
years'  imprisonment,  and  now  she  is   turned 

she  is  to  be  sent  beyond  the  lines* 

A  woman  like  this  Mrs.  Hutchins  may,  and 
constantly  does,  give  the  information  that  Mos- 
BT  and  every  guerrilla  marauder  most  desires, 
and  which  is  of  the  utmost  service  to  Davis  and 
Lee  at  Richmond.  From  the  beginning  of 
the  war,  from  Mrs.  Greenhow  down  to  Mrs. 
Hutchins,  women  have  been,  because  of  their 
sex,  the  most  useful  agents  of  the  traitors,  and 
they  have  very  seldom  been  punished,  although 
in  a  few  instances  they  have  been  sent  to  the

five  years,  and  release  at  the  end  of  five  weeks, 
we  have  no  light  and  no  disposition  to  do  more 

than  suggest,  that  io  such  cases  it  is  very  easy, 
and  would  greatly  conduce  >■•-'  public  satisfaction, 
if  the  Government  would  state  briefly  the  reasons 
of  the  respite.  It  would  cost  no  more  time  or 
trouble  than  the  announcement  that  a  Colonel 
is  promoted  to  be  General  for  heroic  conduct  io 
a  battle,  and  it  would  certainly  greatly  relieve 
the  minds  and  hearts  of  those  whose  sons  and 
broi  hers  may  have  been  killed  in  resisting  IIak- 
la-GiLMoui's  raid,  to  know  why  Ins  accomplice 
is  set  free.  The  fact  of  the  release  gratifies  Mrs. 
Hdtchins's  friends.  To  know  the  reason  would 
satisfy  the  friends  of  her  victims.

The  evening  was  raw  and  there  was  snow  on 
the  streets,  genuine  London  snow,  half-thawed, 
and  trodden,  and  defiled  with  mud.  I  remem-

years  since  I  had  last  seen  its  cheerless  face. 
There  it  lay,  in  the  same  old  ruts,  and  spreading 
the  same  old  snares  on  the  side-paths.     Only  a

to  England  hardly  sweetened  by  the  impatient

the  hopes  of  name  and  gold,  won  by  my  own

Ah,  yes,  but  there  was  something  more!  There 
was  a  blazing  fire  which  sent  eddying  swirls  of 
light  through  the  shadows,  and  right  in  the  blush 
of  its  warmth  a  little  figure  was  lounging  in  an 
easy-chair.  The  little  figure  was  a  girl  of  appa- 
rently about  fifteen  or  sixteen  years  of  age,  dress- 
ed in  a  short  shabby  black  frock,  who  Was  evi-

held  her  book  aloft  to  catch  the  light.  She  was

She  was  so  absorbed  in  her  book,  the  door  had

glooin  which  had  oppressed  me  on  my  firBt  ar- 
rival in  England  had  all  betaken  itself  away. 
How  could  I  feel  otherwise  than  supremely  hap- 
py at  finding  myself  thus  surrounded  by  my  kind 
relations  thus  generously  entertained  under  then- 
hospitable  roof?  ,  „  „ 
As  I  found  that  the  guests  at  Rutland  Hall 
enjoyed  a  certain  freedom  in  their  choice  of 
amusements,  and  the  disposal  of  their  time,  T 
speedilv  -nailed  myself  of  this  privilege.  I  se- 
lected my  own  associates,  and  I  entertained  my- 
self as  pleased  me  .best.  Not  finding  myself 
nlw.ivs  welcomed  in  the  drawing-room,  I  con- 
nived. In  a  series  of  the  most  dexterous  arti- 
fices to  gain  the  free  entree  of  the  nursery.  In 
this  nursery  were  growing  up  some  five  or 
younger  branches  of  the  Rutland  family. 
a  certain  hour  in  the  day  none  of  the  elders  ever 
thought  of  invading  its  remote  precincts.  Five 
o'clock  in  the  evening  was  the  children's  tea 
hour,  and  the  pleasantest,  I  thought,  in  the 
twenty-four.  Nurse  was  a  staid  woman,  who 
knew  how  to  appreciate  a  little  present  now 
and  again,  and  to  keep  her  own  counsel  on  the 
subject.  The  children  were  not  pleasant  chil- 
dren ;  they  were  unruly  mischievous  little  wretch- 
es. They  conceived  a  sort  of  affection  for  me, 
because  I  sometimes  brought  to  the  nursery  sun- 
dry purchases  made  during  solitary  rides ;  pic- 
ture-books, tops,  dolls,  or  sweetmeats,  procured 
by  means  of  Teecie  Ray's  guinea.  I  suggested 
as  much  to  Teecie  one  evening  as  she  sat  by, 
watching  the  distribution,  and  she  nodded  her 
head  in  sage  satisfaction.  She  thought  that  I 
economized  my  substance  very  well.  It  covered 
a  great  many  small  extravagances,  that  guinea 
did.

by  chance,  limping  down  a  hedge  lane  which 
lay  to  the  back  of  the  house,  away  beyond  the 
gardens,  and  the  kitchen  gardens,  and  the  pleas- 
ure-grounds. This  lane,  I  found,,  led  to  a  large 
meadow,  and  beyond  the  meadow  there  was  a 
wooded  hill,  and  far  down  at  the  distant  side  of 
the  hill  there  was  a  river.  This  was  Teecie  Ray's 
favorite  ramble,  and  her  one  avenue  of  escape 
from  the  torments  of  the  nursery.  I  immediate- 
ly began  pouring  forth  a  legion  of  perplexing 
troubles  and  difficulties,  to  all  of  which  she  list- 
ened with  perfect  credulity,  expressing  her  sym-

the  head,  or  a  shrewd  swift  glance.  Then  she

moking  his  cigar  in  the  hedged  lane,  and  on 
nore  than  one  occasion  he  encountered  my  lit- 
le  benefactress  limping  on  her  solitary  way, 
ind  stared  at  the  pretty  fresh  face  under  her  old 
dack  hat,  till  it  blushed  with  uncomfortable  brill- 
iance. Teecie  changed  her  track  like  a  hunted 
hare,  but  Sir  Harry  scented  her  out,  and  annoy- 
licr  with  his  fulsome  compliments.  The  mat- 
reached  Mrs.  Rutland's  ears,  and  sho  vented 
chagrin  on  the  defenseless  little  girl.  I 
>w  not  what  sorry  accusations  and  reproach- 
es she  bestowed  upon  her  during  a  long  private 
lecture;  but,  that  evening  when,  at  the  children's 
tea-hour,  I  entered  the  nursery  door  with  a  new 
ball  in  my  hand  for  Jack  (the  youngest  in * ' 
ni.iertinimblc  of  the  band),  I  saw  Teecie 
face  grievously  clouded  for

;  stared  on  into 
the  fire.  This  wound  had  cut  deep.  Sir  Harry, 
and  Mrs.  Rutland,  of  Rutland  Hall,  at  that  mo- 
ment I  should  have  dearly  loved  to  knock  your 
two  good-for-nothing  heads  together! 

"Teecie,"  I  said,  "you  have  one  friend,  at 
any  rate,  even  if  he  be  not  a  very  graud  one." 

She  gave  one  of  her  quaint  expressive  little 
nods.     Translated,  it  meant : 
that,  but  I  can  not  toll;  in -i  n 
however,  sho  brightened  up,  ;i

and  thick  bread-

unruly  tribes,  a  regular  savage  chieftain. 

Ere  two  days  more  had  passed  I  felt  strongly 
in.  l in.. - 1  (.-.  ..xeivJM-  the  horsewhip  on  this  young 
gentleman's  shoulders.  Tom,  one  fine  morning, 
was  seized  with  an  impish  inspiration  to  play  a 
trick  upon  Teecie.  Stealing  her  _  crutches,  he 
walked  about  the  nursery  mimicking  1 
little  limp,  and  1" 

sat  helpless  in  the  din  and  riot  of  that  ill-con- 
ditioned nursery.  Bright  bracing  days  came 
and  found  her  a  prisoner,  looking  with  longing 
eyes  through  the  window-panes,  out  over  the 
beautiful  country  lanes.  Tom  saw  her  patience 
\S :,[,  .he  rii.-f  audacious  indifference.  Butwhy 
talk  about  Tom?  I  could  not  help  believing, 
nor  do  I  ever  intend  to  help  believing,  that  older 
heads  than  Tom's  plotted  the  cruel  caging  of 
that  bonnie  bird. 

The  bird  drooped  on  its  perch;  but  who 
cared?  Nurse  vowed  it  was  a  shame,  and 
showed  more  kindness  than  usual  to  the  prison- 
er, but  I  will  not  venture  to  decide  how  much  of

she  called  one  day  during  Teecie  Ray's  imprison-

ostlv  affairs.  I  knew  the  conclusion  thev 
to,  one  and  all.  They  pitched  on  Sir 
Harry  as  the  culprit.  It  was  a  thorn  in  their 
side,  and  I  rubbed  my  hands  in  glee. 

ing  considered  the  question  in  their  dis- 
tliey  decided  that  Teecie  should  he  kept 
in  ignorance  of  her  mysterious  present.  It  was 
not  fit  for  her  to  use,  it  would  fill  her  mind  with 
absurd  ideas.  And  so,  in  spite  of  the  arrival  of 
her  beautiful  new  crutches,  poor  Teecie  still  sat 
helpless  in  the  nursery.  The  wooden  case  and 
itents  were  hidden  away,  and  no  word  was 
spoken  of  their  existence. 

I  waited  a  few  days  to  see  if  the  elders  would 
relent,  but  to  no  purpose.  The  bird  still  pined 
'  perch.  No  kindly  band  seemed  likely  to 
the  cage  door  and  let  it  fly.  There  sat 
Teecie,  day  after  day,  in  her  nursery  chair,  bem- 


ful  fussiug  about  ribbons,  and  muslins,  and  frip- 
peries. Teecie  alone  sat  silent  in  her  shabby 
frock.  By-and-by,  her  hands  were  full,  bowing 
up  sashes,  sewing  on  tuckers,  stitching  rosettes 
shoes.  She  was  a  nimble  little  workwoman, 
and  they  kept  her  busy.  Seeing  how  welt  a 
'  pful  of  bright  ribbons  became  her,  I  thought  it 
pity  she  should  not  have  a  gay  dress  as  well 


Teecie  could  wish  to  be  merry  with  the  rest. 
How  could  she  go,  she  who  was  lame  and  had 
no  crutches? 

It  happened  that  I  had  an  errand  to  the  near- 
est town.  It  was  rather  late  when,  on  my  re- 
turn, I  called  at  the  best  millinery  establishment 
in  the  place,  and  asked  for  a  parcel. 

Yes,  the  parcel  was  ready.  A  large  flat  box. 
"Would  the  gentleman  like  to  see  the  lady's

cloud  of  some  airy  fabric  shaken  out  under  my 
eyes.  I  can  not,  of  course,  describe  it,  but  it 
was  something  white,  very  pure  and  transpar- 
ent, with  something  else  of  pink  just  blushing 
through  it.  It  was  very  tasteful,  I  pronounced, 
trying  to  look  wise.  There  was  only  one  fault :

of  age,  and  of  course  we  have  given  her  a  flow- 
It  was  late  in  the  evening  when  I  reached 
home.  Two  laerry  carriage-fulls  were  just  de- 
parting from  the  door  as  I  drove  up.  A  few 
minutes  afterward  I  was  in  the  nursery  with 
tliawrnilliner's  parcel  in  my  hands.  There  sat 
deaT  little  Cinderella,  resting  one  flushed  cheek 
on  her  hand,  and  contemplating  the  litter  of 
scraps  of  ribbon,  fragments  of  lace,  scissors, 
flowers,  and  reels  of  cotton,  which  lay  scattered 
around  her.  She  had  had  a  toilsome,  tiresome 
day,  and  now  they  had  got  all  they  wanted  of 
her,  and  had  left  her  to  her  solitude.  ■ 

A  flash  of  pleasure  sprang  to  her  face  when 
she  saw  me.  "Oh!  I  thought  you  had  gone 
with  the  rest,"  she  said. 

"      "  said  I;  *'I  have  not  gone  yet,  but  I

curious  feeling  that  I  saw  Teecie  try  them, 
or  limping  now,  rather  gliding  over  the  nursery 
oor,  witli  the  little  velvet  cushions  hidden  away 
midst  clouds  of  lace  and  muslin  under  her  round 
hite^houlders,  and  the  airy  masses  of  the  fresh

gleaming  silver  staves.     I  don't  know  why  it

that  lay  below  in  the  one  shabby  p 
which  I  had  thought  proper  to  brii 
to  Uutia nd  Hall! 

Our  equipage  awaited  us.  It  was  too  lato 
now  to  withdraw  from  what  I  had  undertaken. 
Teecie  and  I  were  soon  dashing  over  the  snowy 
roads  to  Lady  Thornton's.  I  will  not  attempt 
to  describe  the  remainder  of  that  memorable 
evening,  or  the  sensation  caused  by  our  arrival ; 
onder  and  mortification  of  my  kind  rela- 
or  the  mingled  pleasure   ami  displeasure 


The  scene  was  all  new  and  delightful  to 
Teecie,  but  her  dread  of  Mrs.  Rutland's  por- 
tentous frown  would  not  let  her  enjoy  it.  We 
both  felt  that  a  storm  would  burst  over  our 
heads  that  night,  and  wc  were  not  wrong. 
None  of  the  family  from  Rutland  Hall  took  the 
least  notice  of  us.  When  the  time  came  for 
going  home,  they  went,  off  in  their  two  car- 
riages, and  Teecie  and  I  drove  home  as  wc  had 
come.  When  we  arrived,  we  found  Cousin 
George  and  his  wife  waiting  for  us  in  the  libra- 
ry, armed  to  the  teeth.  I  saw  it  was  to  be  war 
and  no  quarter.  Mrs.  Rutland  took  Teecie  into 
her  clutches,  and  carried  her  off,  and  I  was  left 
with  George.     I  need  not  repeat  all  that  passed 

"Sir,"  he  said,  "we  have  suffered  your  in- 
solent intrusion  long  enough.  You  leave  this 
house  to-morrow  morning." 

"Cousin  George,"  I  said,  "don't  put  yourself 
in  a  passion.  I  will  go  to-morrow  morning,  but 
upon  one  condition— that  Teecie  Ray  may  come 

He  looked  at  me  perfectly  aghast.  "Do  you 
know,"  he  said,  "  that  she  is  a  penniless  friend, 
less  orphan,  whom  I  have  sheltered  through 
charity?" 

"X  want  to  make  her  my  wife,"  I  said,  stern. 
ly  ' '  if,  indeed,  I  be  so  fortunate  as  to  have  won 
her  affections." 

'■  And  alter  thai,"  he  said,  with  a  Sneer,  "how 
do  you  propose  to  live?  Upon  air,  or  youi 
friends?" 

"Not  upon  you,  George  Rutland,"  I  said, 
looking  him  steadily  in  the  eyes.  "Mnrk  me

welcome  from  the  savage  tribes  in  the  nursery. 
Many  and  many  an  evening  found  me  walking 
down  that  hedged  lane  in  the  frosty  dusk,  with 
Teecie  Ray  limping  by  my  side,  and  talking  her 
grave  simple  little  talk.  I  had  always  some 
fresh  puzzle  to  propose  to  her,  and  she  was  al- 
ways ready  to  knit  her  smooth  brows  over  its 
solution.    Once  she  stopped  short,  and  struck

One  morning,  when  it  wanted  but  a  week  of 
the  party,  a  curious  event  occurred.  The  heads 
of  the  house  met  in  consultation  on  the

to  give  some  sound  advice  to  our  friends  the  Greats 
oxes  and  the  Lankys,  and  that,  too,  without  fee." 
"I  see,"  enthusiastically  exclaimed  our  venerable 
querist,  "  Greatox— corpulency.  Lanky  (or  did  you 
say  Yankee  ?)-leanness.    Generous  man!     I  shall

ankle,  instep,  and  calf  as  firm  as  an  Arabian  horse. 
Nevertheless,  I  looked  upon  my  stomach  as  a  most 
formidable  enemy  i  I  conquered  it.  and  reduced  it  to 
ite  proper  dimensions."  The  princip^auses  of  cor- 
pulency may  be  easily  stated.  The  first  is  the  nat- 
ural conformation  of  the  individual.  Every  man  is 
born  with  certain  predispositions,  which  may  be 
traced  in  his  physiognomy.  Out  of  one  hundred 
persons  who  die  of  consumption  ninety  have  brown 
hair,  an  oval  face,  and  sharp  nose.  Out  of  one  hun- 
dred "  corpulents"  ninety  have  a  round  face,  globu- 
lar eyes,  and  pug  noBe.  It  is  therefore  beyond  a 
doubt  that  some  persons  arc  predestined  to  be  fat, 
and  that,  taking  all  things  equally,  their  digestive 
powers  produce  a  greater  portion  of  fat.  And  here 
let  us  cite  a  few  instances  of  men  of  weight.  M. 
Laurent  notices  a  Parisian  boy  who  must  have 
frightened  his  parents  a  little,  for  he  weighed  a 
hundred  and  four  pounds  at  four  years  old.  There

died  m  Lincolnshire  one  Mr.  Pell,  who  weighed  five 
hundred  and  sixty  pounds.  He  was  inclosed  in 
three  coffins,  the  united  weight  of  which,  with  him- 
self, exceeded  three  thousand  pounds.  Mr.  Bright, 
of  Essex,  was  a  person  of  great  notoriety  in  the  early 
days  of  the  reign  of  George  the  Third.  He  died  at 
the  age  of  thirty.  His  weight  was  six  hundred  and

Byrne,  who  died  in  1804,  whose  bulk  was  so  great 
that  his  admirers  claimed  for  him  the  merit  of  be- 
ing "several  stones  heavier  than  the  celebrated 
Mr.  Bright  of  Essex."  It  required  thirty  men  to

difference  arising  between  him  and  a  Jew,  the  Jew- 
stabbed  him  in  the  belly  with  a  pen-knife ;  but  the 
blade,  being  short,  did  not  pierce  his  bowels,  or  even 
pass  through  the  fat  which  defended  them."  But

Shortly  before  his  death  he  attained  the  unprece- 
dented weight  of  seven  hundred  and  thirty -nine 
pounds.  His  coffin  was  seventy-six  inches  long  by 
fifty-two  wide,  and  contained  a  hundred  and  twelve 
square  feet  of  elm.  The  coffin  was  regularly  built 
upon  axles  and  wheels ;  and  not  only  the  window, 
but  also  the  side  of  a  room,  had  to  be  taken  down  to

next  morning.  It  was  blowing  a  gale  from  the 
Gulf.  All  night  I  had  lain  listening  to  the  wild 
soughing  of  the  wind,  thinking  of  its  mournful 
requiem  among  the  cedars.  The  waters  of  the 
Bay  were  lashed  to  madness,  great  breakers 
chasing  one  another  up  the  Hillsboro.  I  could 
see  it  all  from  the  window  before  my  bed,  and 
see  the  little  fishiDg  vessels  scudding  in  "under 

A  tropical  gale  was  a  new  feature  of  a  South- 
ern climate,  and  roused  me  from  my  night  of 
misery.  Aunt  Milly  came  to  my  room  weep- 
ing. She  said  Uncle  Joe  was  off  in  the  oyster- 
smack.  She  s'pected  he  was  lost.  I  heard  a 
man  on  the  upper  piazza  calling  to  one  below 
that  a  building  was  just  floating  away  from  the 
lower  levee.  If  the  gale  increased  half  of  the 
town  would  follow  before  noon.  The  man  be- 
low replied  with  an  oath,  he  hoped  it  would  send 
the  blockadcrs  to  Davy  Jones. 

There  was  confusion  and  excitement  on  every 
hand.  The  mists  grew  denser ;  it  was  soon  im- 
possible to  see  the  water  except  by  the  glare  of 
the  lightning,  though  its  dash  and  fuam  were 
audible  amidst  the  awful  pauses  of  the  thunder. 

"Wasn't  Miss  afeard?"  Aunt  Milly  asked, 
in  old  poplai

"Will  Missy  see  Colonel  Hamilton  dis  mor-

moved the  breakfast-tray.  "Reckon  he's  all 
done  ready  to  go  back  to  Talluhasser."     . 

He  came  in,  took  my  baud  kindly  as  a  fa- 
ther, and  asked  if  I  felt  able  to  talk  with  him. 
"I  could  not  disturb  yuu  yesterday,"  he  went

Night  came  on  in  the  lonely  forest.  The  deep, 
■urging  tones  of  .the  pines  seemed  but  the  echo 
>f  the  sorrowing  wail  of  my  own  heart.  The 
jrand  old  trees,  with  their  solemn  drapery  of 
noss,  swaying  forever  to  and  fro — to  and  fro — 
is  if  keeping  time  to  their  own  dirge-notes,  stood 
:.ll  and  spectral,  like  the  ghosts  of  Osceola  and 
i.  Seminole  warriors.  These  were  their  paths. 
their  war-cry  silent  yet  along  the 


very  strange  to  one  who  had  never  made  the 

shortest  journey  without  father  or  brother  to  i 
traveling  alone  amidst  such  profound  solitude 
yet  I  had  no  feeling  of  fear. 

It  was  past  midnight  when  the  driver  toi 
down  his  horn  and  blew  a  shrill,  vigorous  blai 
I  strained  my  eyes,  but  no  light  was  visible.

not  open  my  eyes.  There  were  different  sounds 
in  the  air  and  upon  the  earth.  The  whip-poor-

WEM, 


WILMINGTON. 
;old  in  early  youth  that  the  shyest 


birds  can  be  caught  by  putting  a  little 
fresh  salt  upon  their  tails.  It  is  well  that  the 
progress  of  the  war  is  so  prosperous  that  we  can 
laugh  rather  than  cry  over  the  Wilmington  ex- 
pedition. The  end,  indeed,  has  not  appeared, 
but  the  beginning  is  complete.  There  is  some- 
thing ludicrously  suggestive  of  Chinese  warfare, 
of  the  loud  beating  of  the  tomtom  to  appall 
the  enemy,  in  the  idea  of  blowing  up  a  ship  on 
the  open  sea  in  front  of  a  fort,  and  anticipating 
"  paralysis"  as  the  result.  Universal  falling  of 
the  walls,  apoplexy,  and  demoralization,  then  a 
jubilam    " 


But  t 


all, 


The  laws  and  forces  of  concussion  are  computa- 
ble: and  it  is  ;m  interesting  inquiry  to  whom 
we  are  indebted  for  this  suggestion,  and  whether 
it  were  gravely  approved  by  a  competem,  scien- 
tific board.  The  only  paralysis  produced  seems 
to  have  been  upon  the  wrong  side.  For  it  really 
looks  as  if  the  explosion  were  regarded  as  the

Should  he  succeed  in  obtaining  the  fort  the  great-

Certainly  we  are  very  far  from  complaining 
that  an  assault  was  not  made.  We  are  none 
of  us  here  competent  to  decide  that  it  should 
have  been.  Neither  do  we  say  that  the  troops 
were  not  well  handled.      General  Weitzel  is  a

eral  Butler  is  no  fool.     Admiral  Porter  nat- 
urally thinks  that,  if  one  man  could  seize  a  flag 
and  take  a  prisoner  almost  within  the  fort,  a 
column  of  men  could    successfully  sissault    it.

that  the  fort  was  virtually  at  our  mercy,  i 
that  the  fact  of  eight  hundred  of  our  men 
maining  on  the  shore  for  several  hours  ur 
tacked  by  the  rebels  proves  that  they  were

But  we  are  surely  entitled  to  say  that 
one  has  blundered,  and  that  the  some  one  s

we  may  look  out  for  a  revolution  that  the 

world  now  little  expects.    Thank  God !  the  time 

arrived  when  these  minions  of  Abolition  can 

never  plant  a  foot  south  of  the  Potomac." 

In  December,  1864,  the  Savannah  Republican 
says:  "  By  the  fortunes  of  war  we  to-day  pass  un- 
der the  authority  of  the  Federal  military  forces. 

We  desire  to  counsel   obedience  and   all 

proper  respect  on  the  part  of  our  citizens,  and  to 
express  the  belief  that  their  property  and  per- 
sons will  be  respected  by  our  military  ruler 

Let  our  conduct  be  such  as  to  win  the  admira- 
tion of  a  magnanimous  foe,  and  give  no  ground 
for  complaint  or  harsh  treatment  on  the  part  of 
him  who  will  for  an  indefinite  period  hold  pos-

yond.that  time,  should  God  in  his  providence 
permit.  We  want  nothing  to  do  with  such  a 
people,  either  in  time  or  eternity." 

In  December,  1864,  it  says:  "The  fear  ex- 
pressed by  many  that  General  Sherman  will  re- 
peat the  order  of  expulsion  from  our  homes 
which  he  enforced  against  the  citizens  of  Atlan- 
ta we  think  to  be  without  foundation It  be- 
hooves all  to  keep  within  their  houses  until 
General  Sherman  shall  have  organized  a  pro- 
vost system,  and  such  police  as  will  insure  safe- 
ty in  person  as  well  as  property." 

So  it  will  be  to  the  end,  and  the  deluded  peo- 
ple of  the  rebel  section  will  gradually  learn  what 
wretched  and  criminal  :;;w<>ii>  the  Southern 
leaders  were  who  have  plunged  the  country  into 


A  large  number  of  conspicuous  and  influen- 
tial gentlemen  in  Philadelphia,  who  have  been 
personally  familiar  for  a  long  time  with  the 
workine:  ol  ihe  lummy  -vstem  there,  have  pre- 
pared a  careful  and  very  sensible  memorial  to 
Congress  upon  the  subject  of  local  bounties, 
which  is  heartily  approved  by  Alexander 
Henry,  the  tried  and  admirable  Mayor  of  that 
city. 

We  were  sorry  to  see  that  our  friend  and 
neighbor,  the  New  York  Times,  speaks  of  these 
gentlemen  as  dictating  to  the  rest  of  the  com- 
munity in  what  way  recruits  shall  be  supplied  or 
substitutes  furnished.  But  certainly  a  simple 
suggestion  upon  an  important  public  question, 
considerately  made  by  any  body  of  our  fell  jw- 
citizens,  ought  not  to  be  denounced  as  dictation. 
The  Tames  also  declares  that  to  abolish  the  sub- 
stitute system  is  to  return  to  the  days  of  the 
French  Directory.  That  may  be  true,  but  the 
Philadelphia  gentlemen  have  made  no  such 
proposition. 

On  the  day  after  the  appearance  of  this  rather 
contemptuous  criticism,  the  Times  published  a 
letter  from  Mr.  J.  P..  Hamilton,  one  of  its  army 
correspondents,  in  which  the  abuses  of  the  sys- 
tem whi.-::  the  l-'hihidelj-hia  gentlemen  aim  to 
correct  are  set  forth  in  the  most  striking  terms. 
If  the  Tames  thinks  thePhiladelphians  "rhetor- 


o  local  bounty;  that  every  subdistrict 
be  credited  with  its  own  residents,  no 
where  they  credit  themselves  ;  and  that 
l  insurrectional-}'  districts  should 
Third,  that  the  unexpired  terms 
should  be  charged  to  the 
locality  credited  for  them.  And  fourth,  that, 
as  such  measures  woul.l  dimini-h  volunteering. 
there  should  be  a  moderate  bounty  for  .he  .(raft- 
ed men,  or  family  provision  during  their  ab- 
sence.      To    this   memorial    v,e   ,>ec.    such    names 

as  Horace  Binney,  Jun.,  Morton  M'Michael, 
Henry  C.  Lea,  Charles  Gilpin,  J.  I.  Clark 
Hare,  Dr.  E.  Wallace,  George  Trott,  and 


dictatorial. 

Such  a  plan  credits  every  subdistrict  with 
those  who  are  willing  to  go  from  it,  and  requires 
those  who  can  not  go  either  to  find  a  substitute 
at  home  or  among  those  who  are  not  citizens. 
There  can  lie  im  o,uesrion  that  the  operation  of 
the  present  boimty  system  is  perilous  to  the 
country.  "You  are  contending  with  an  ene- 
my," said  General  Mitchell,  "who  will  fight 
you  with  a  two-prong#d  fork,  if  he  can  find  no 
other  weapon.  Can  you  safely  fight  hira  with 
soldiers  who  care  notliiug  for  the  cause,  and  are 
hired  as  they  would  be  to  dig  a  ditch?"  Ex- 
emptions there  must  be,  and  substitutes ;  but 
because  these  must  be  there  is  no  reason  why 
they  should  be  scoundrels  and  felons,  and  there 
is  every  reason  why  they  should  not  be  such. 

The  City  Bounty  Fund  Commission  in  Phil- 
adelphia, which,  within  the  year,  has  paid  boun- 
ties to  more  than  twenty  thousand  volunteers, 
cordially  approves  the  memorial,  being  persuad- 
ed that  some  national  action  upon  the  subject 
is  necessary,  as  the  active  competition  embar- 
rasses all  local  measures.  The  object  of  the 
movement  is  neither  altogether  to  abolish  sub- 
stitutes or  bounties,  but  to  make  them  both  as 


possible  If  the  Philadelphia  plan  be  w 
best  way,  its  proposers  ask  that  some  bettt 
may  be  adopted.     Is  such  a  spirit  unreasonable, 


r  such  a  plan  unfair? 


Me.  ADAMS. 


What  we  said  last  week  of  Mr.  Dayton  ir 
Paris  is  equally  true  of  Mr.  Adams  in  London. 
He  is  an  advanced  outpost  of  America.  He  il- 
lustrates the  national  faith  and  the  national 
character.  His  solid,  silent,  self-respecting 
manliness,  and  almost  dry  and 
are  delightfully  contrasted  wit! 
tics  of  the  rebel  emissary  in  England,  whom 
American  history  will  know  as  Fugitive-Slave- 
Bill  Mason,  and  who  fitly  represents  his  con- 
federates and  their  lamentable  cause.  After 
the  dallying  silence  or  polite  putting  a-ide  of  the 
question  of  slavery,  which  has  characterized  our 
ministers  in  Europe  for  so  long  a  time,  it  is  re- 


slave-drivers,  disturbs  a  meeting  at  Bristol  called 
to  rejoice  over  the  result  of  our  election,  and  the 
England  which  congratulates  Mr.  Adams,  and 
speaks  by  Goldwtn  Smith,  and  cheers  Rich- 
Iobden  and  John  Bright. 


When'c 

the  Secretary  of  State  wrote  immediately  to  Mr. 
Webb,  at  Rio  Janeiro,  to  say  to  the  Brazilian 
Government  that,  although  we  had  not  ceased 
to  regret  the  concession  of  belligerence  to  reb- 
els,  yet  we  were  disposed  to  examine  the  ques-, 
tion  in  a  friendly  spirit,  and  to  do  justice.  This 
was  on  the  11th  of  November.  On  the  12th  of 
December  the  Brazilian  Minister  in  AYa-Tm;/- 
ton  addressed  a  letter  to  Mr.  Seward  detailing 
the  circumstances,  and  adding  that  he  reposed 
perfect  confidence  in  the  friendly  intentions  of 
the  United  States,  whose  energetic  defense  of 
neutral  rights  is  traditional,  and  which  will  un- 
doubtedly make  proper  reparation  to  a  friendly 
power  for  an  offense  of  such  "transcendent 
gravity." 

Mr.  Seward  replied  that  Brazil  justly  ex- 
pected the  regret  and  disavowal  of  the  Presi- 
dent for  an  act  inconsistent  with  the  tnidiiinns 
and  well-considered  policy  of  the  United  States. 
Captain  Collins  will  be  suspended  and  sum- 
moned before  a  court-martial  ;  and.  ;i;;  the  (.'.'., n- 
sul  admits  that  he  incited  the  act,  he  will  be

JBut  this  Government  dc.es  not-  admit 
any  charge  of  falsehood  or  treachery  against  the 
Captain  and  Consul,  which  they  deny ;  and  es- 
pecially denies  that  the  rebel  insurgents  are  a 
lawful  naval  belligerent,  and  repeats  emphatic-

of  the  explosion,  have  done  all  that  brave  men 
could  do,  yet  that  in  the -direction  of  the  united 
armament  there  was  some  fatal  defect  which 
might  have  produced  vast  and  melancholy  dis- 
aster instead  of  amusing  failure. 

THEN  AND  NOW. 

In  April,  1861,  the  Savannah  JRtpvblican  said  : 

"The  people  of  the  Monumental  City  were  right 

in  arresting  the  progress  of  an  army  raised  to 
shoot  down  their  Southern  brethren.  We  hope 
they  will  keep  up  the  good  work,  and  even  strike

part  of  his  nation  and  the  world,  and  say, 
as  Mr.  Adams  did  to  the  deputation  that  came 
to  congratulate  him  upon  the  result  of  the  elec- 
tion ;  --All  good  men  may  have  Cause  to  rejoice 
in  the  termination  of  fins  melancholy  struggle, 
if  that  end  be  at  once  the  confirmation  of  a  free 
government  in  America, 
the  most  formidable  evil  with  which  its 
has  been  heretofore  cursed." 

Who  will  not  say  Amen,  and  who 
thank  God  that  the  representatives  of  t 
ed  States  are  at  last  unmuzzled? 

But  Mr.  Adams's  speech  was 
for  the  quiet  dignity  with  which  he  si 
exact  condition  oi  public  semimeni  In 
and  the  United  States.   He  said  to  Sir » 
Lyell,  Dr.  Massie,  Thomas  Hughes. 


not  disguise  from  them  or  from  himself  the  pain- 
ful fact  that  an  unfriendly  interest  in  our  strug- 
gle had  often  been  manifested  in  England ;  "and 
that  the  knowledge  of  this  has  given  rise  to  a 
general  impression  among  my  countrymen  that 
the  whole  British  nation  really  desires  the  dis- 
ruption and  consequent  downfall  of  the  power 
of  the  United  States.  Hence  has  sprung  up  a 
corresponding  degree  of  ill-will  which  bids  fair, 
if  not  counteracted,  only  to  increase  with  time. 
If  such  passions  be  permitted  a  full  indulgence 
between  two  nations,  it  needs  little  sagacity  to 
foretell  that,  in  the  long-run,  the  end  is  war." 
He  added  that  the  demonstrations  of  friendship 
for  the  United  States,  which  he  is  continually 
receiving  from  various  parts  of  the  kingdom, 
will  enable  the  lovers  of  peace  to  prove  that, 
■•  whatever  nun  he  the  hostility  of  some,  it  is  by 
no  means  shared  by  the  greater  number  of  the 
British  people,  and  ought  not  to  be  presumed  to 
be  a  national  expression." 

This  confirmation  by  Mr.  Adams  of  the  opin- 
ion of  Lord  Russell  and  of  Goldwin  Smith  is 
very  significant,  and  should  be  remembered. 
There  is  a  foolish  feeling,  carefully  fostered  in 
this  country  by  those  who  imagine  that  hatred 
of  England  is  a  test  of  American  patriotism- 


asters  that  could  befall  human  society  ;  and  i 
therefore  the  serious  duty  of  every  true  Am 
can  to  distinguish  between  the  venal  and  mi 


rights  by  Brazil  is  regarded  as  wrong  and  un- 
friendly to  the  United  States,  to  which  Brazil 
will  owe  reparation  of  the  consequences  of  such 

suls  to  choose,  without  authority,  when,  how, 
and  where  to  redress  the  wrongs  of  this  coun- 
try ;  and  although  the  crew  of  the  Florida  are 
enemies  of  this  Government  and,  as  we  contend, 
of  the  human  race,  they  were  unlawfully  seized, 
and  will  therefore  be  set  at  liberty. 

This  is  the  manly  good  sense  which  preserves 
the  peace  of  the  world.  Minister  Webb  will 
see  that  he  should  rather  have  waited,  and  have 
forborne  to  make  a  difficulty  with  one  independ- 
ent and  friendly  power  the  occasion  for  lecturing 
another.     Bluster  and  i

THE  GOVERNOR'S  FIRST  WORD. 

The  first  word  from  Governor  Fenton  is  a 
clear  and  ringing  note  of  hearty  patriotism. 
Before  his  message  was  delivered,  and  before 
the  mid  set  upon  the  day  of  his  inauguration.  Ik. 
issued  an  earnest  call  to  the  citizens  of  the  great 
State  to  aid  Grant  and  Sherman,  Sheridan 
and  Thomas,  Farragut  and  Porter,  in  secnr- 
ine;  the  fruits  of  the  victories  they  have  so  brave- 
ly won.  Let  us  be  patient  and  persevere,  says 
the  Governor,  "  in  the  closing  of  the  great  strug- 
gle which  is  to  result  in  settling  the  destinies  of 
this  Government  upon  a  foundation  firm  as 
truth  and  righteousness." 

It  is  a  profound  satisfaction  for  even'  loyal" 
of  the  United  States  to  feel  that  the  ex-

pathy  to  the  cause  so  dear  to  the  people  of  the 
State.  Its  object  will  not  be  to  discover  in  what

PUBLIC  GIFTS. 

Many  years  since  some  worthy  citizens  of 
Philadelphia  gave  Commodore  Decatdr  a  mass- 
ive silver  wine-cooler  in  testimony  of  their  ad- 
miration and  respect'.  A  few  days  ago  some 
worthy  citizens  of  New  York  presented  Vice- 
Admiral  Farragut  with  fifty  thousand  dollars 
in  Government  bonds. 

The  massive  silver  wine-cooler,  after  some 
years,  was  cxposedfor  sale  in  Philadelphia,  and 
was  finally  bought  by  a  distinguished  citizen  of 
Albany. 

The  difference  in  the  character  of  the  gifts 
does  not  show  a  difference  of  generosity,  but  of 
the  times.  Let  us  rejoice  that  the  days  of  hon- 
orable silver  tea-kettles  and  of  grateful  punch- 
i  passed  away, 
substantial 


of  honor  and  recognition  which  could  not  be 
estimated  in  money,  and  would  even  be  injured 
by  the  attempt  to  represent  it  in  that  way.  But 
such  a  sentiment,  although  honorable,  was  mis- 
taken. For  the  Government  stock  is  also  mere- 
ly a  symbol.  Nobody  supposes  that  it  repre- 
sents the  valne  of  the  Vice-Admiral's  services, 
which  are  entirely  incalculable.     It  is  equally 


them,  an  empty  honor. 

It  has  long  been  the  practice  in  England  to 
reward  eminent  publi?  service  in  the  army  and 
navy  by  the  most  valuable  honors.     The  palace 
t  of  British  gratitude ; 

and  enriched  by  public  gratitude  Nelson  and 

Wellington  are  among  the  most  conspicuous. 
But  rewards  are  not  confined  to  military  or  na- 
val success  in  England.  In  the  great  universi- 
ties there  are  fellowships  which  are  prizes  for 
superior  scholarship.      The  fellowship  entitles 


tain  stipend  contingent  upon 
in  the  Church  and  remaining 
crary  fund,  from  whiclt  certai 
an  annual  pittance  from  the 
poor  recognition  of  the  same  principle,  which  is 
simply  this,  that  those  who  truly  benefit  the  na- 
tion are  entitled  to  some  degree  of  national  sup- 
It  will  hardly  be  contended  that  it  is  a  de- 
moralizing system,  for  the  service  must  be  con- 
spicuous and  unquestionable.  The  sense  of 
power  and  the  desire  of  fame  are  too  intimately 
allied  to  be  disturbed  by  any  lower  influence. 
Marlborough  was  not  a  respectable  character, 
yet  he  was  a  great  General,  not  because  he 
hoped  for  Blenheim,  but  because  he  had  genius 
and  obeyed  its  law.  Blenheim  rewarded  suc- 
cess.    It  could  never  have  inspired  it. 

The  New  Tear's  gift  to  Vice-Admiral  Far- 
ragdt,  and  the  intended  testimony  to  Captain 
Winslow  and  to  General  Sherman  are  good 
and  generous  signs  of  a  public  gTatitude  that 


fv  its  gratitude  with  the  presentation  of  si 

pitcheri  and  pretty  swords.

"Poems  by  David  Gray,  with  a  Memoir  of  his 
Life"  (Roberts  &  Brothers,  Boston).  Three 
years  ago  this  winter  a  young  Scotchman  named 
David  Gray,  twenty-three  years  old,  died  at  the 
house  of  bis  father,  a  hand-loom  weaver,  eight 
miles  from  Glasgow.  He  was  early  conscious  of 
poetic  power,  and  morbidly  anxious  for  fame  as  a 
poet.     From  the  deptliB  of  poverty  he  burst  away

of  some  of  his  verses,  lie  died,  and  tbey  were  pub- 
lished in  England,  and  are  reprinted  in  this  pretty 
volume.  They  are  not  to  be  set  aside  as  the  fee- 
ble wailings  of  consumptive  poverty;  for  although 
Davdd  Gray  strikes  no  master  chord,  there  is  a 
touching  poetical  emotion  in  his  verse  which  will 
keep  his  name  with  those  of  Kikke  White  and 
Chatterton.

The  two  volumes  now  published  bring  the  history 
of  the  Church  down  to  nearly  the  close  of  the 
eighteenth  century.  Notwithstanding  the  many 
difficulties  attending  the  work,  the  chief  of  which 
is  the  paucity  and  inaccuracy  of  documentary  mat- 
ter, Dr.  Stevens  has  succeeded  in  presenting  a  very 
comprehensive  and  interesting  history  of  the  period 
included  within  the  scope  of  these  two  volumes. 


THE  SHADOW. 


Come  the  shadows  deepening  slowly, 
Come  the  night  winds  singing  lowly, 
Come  the  memories  overcast 
Of  the  unforgotten  past. 
Comes  there  to  my  listless  seeming, 
In  between  my  doubt  and  dreaming, 
Flinging  back  the  folds  of  night, 
One  sweet  vision  crown'd  with  light. 
For  a  little  gracious  minute 
Heaven  is  open'd,  and  within  it 
Sings  a  white  and  saintly  maiden, 
Lost  to  me,  but  found  to  Aidenn. 


ki--,M  her  from  above; 


The  silver  mists  came  o'er  the  lea, 
And  still  we  told  the  sweet  tale  o'er, 
Ami  drciiiu'd  upon  the  silent  shore. 
But  the  glorious  summer  light 
Is  blotted  grimly  by  the  night; 
And  the  sweetest  flowers  that  blow 
Lie  buried  underneath  the  snow. 


Oih'  to-day  without  a  morrow, 
"When  the  angels  call'd  her  sister, 
Took  her  in  their  arms  and  kiss'd  1 


In  the  gloom  these  dead  dreams  haunt  i 
Sings  a  maiden,  robed  in  light.

l.oon  deemed  so  important  by  the  rebels  v. 
iiu'inl  paper  litily  declared  the  I 
ninn-mr  consideration. 

"  Tho  valley  at  the  head  of  which  Saltville 
stands,"  says  "  Porte  Crayon,"  "contains  seven 
hundred  acres  of  rich  meadow.  It  is  surrounde 
by  a  chain  of  conical  hills,  from  500  to  800  feet  i 
height,  so  regularly  formed  that,  but  for  their  ei 
tent,  they  might  lie  mistaken  for  artilieial  mound: 
At  tho  distance  of  230  feet  below  the  surface  is 
berl  of  fossil  salt.  The  salt  is  procured  by  sinking 
beds  to  the  depth  of  the  salt-bee" 
rises  within -iii  feet  of  the  surface, 
thence  by  pumps  into  large  tanks,  or  reservoirs, 
elevated  a  convenient  distance  above  tho  surface. 
The  brine  thus  procured  is  a  saturated  solution,  and 
for  every  hundred  gallons  yields  twenty-two  gallons 


built  into  the  top  of  the  furnace.      Largo  wooden 

pipes  convey  the  brine  from  the  tanks  to  these  bet- 

the  salt  crystallizes  and  is  precipitated.  During 
the  operation  a  white  saline  vapor  rises  from  tho 
boilers,  the  inhalation  of  which  is  said  to  cure  dis- 
eases of  the  lungs  and  throat.  At  regular  intervals 
an  attendant  goes  round  and  with  a  mammoth  ladle 
dips  out  the  salt,  chucking  it  into  loosely-  woven 
split  baskets,  which  are  placed  in  pairs  over  the

All  the  depots  of  siipp.li-.-s  in  Southwestern  Virginia,

alone  speaks  volumes  in  its  behalf.  The  charge  of 
the  Third  Brigade,  which  resulted  in  the  capture  of

A  STORY  IN  NINE  CHAPTERS. 


CHAPTER  VII. 
Forest  Lake  is  one  of  the  myriad  gems  of 

the  peninsula.  Excessive  weariness  could  not 
blind  me  to  that  fact  the  first  night  of  my  ar- 
rival. The  last  mite  or  two  of  the  way  lay  along 
its  margin,  every  turn  revealing  some  new  beau- 
ty. The  wild  orange,  magnolia,  and  bay  load- 
ed the  air  with  perfume,  while  giant  oaks  dipped 
their  mossy  arms  in  the  wave  and  grasped  then- 
own  shadows. 

The  carriage  drove  through  a  little  village  of 
cabins  just  as  the  sun  was  setting.  The  field- 
hands  were  home  from  labor,  and  stood  bowing 
and  courtesying,  trying  to  get  a  peep  at  the  new- 
isolated  plantations.  A  large  gate,  swung  open 
by  a  little  negro,  admitted  to  the  grounds  sur- 
rounding the  mansion—a  tasteful,  unpretending 
house,  southern  in  every  feature.  We  were  wel- 
comed by  the  barking  of  dogs,  the  strutting  of 
pea-fowl,  the  scream  of  guineas,  and  the  somer- 
saults of  two  or  three  young  darkeys.  Two  lit- 
tle girls  dressed  in  white  stood  with  a  nurse  on 
the  piazza,  and  a  gray-haired 
bright  eyes  and  intelligent  lace, 


"No,"  I  replied,  "IamM 
dreu's  governess."  I  knew 
George,  and  thought  the  old  i

The  little  girls  were 
readily,  but  stole  sly  glf 
I  went  to  lay  aside  my  traveling  garb. 

"Don't   be    so    shamed,  honeys,"  said  their 
nurse  ;  "go  in  and  tell  the  lady  ' How  d'ye ?'  " 

"Why  don't  she  wear  pretty,  bright  dresses 


lighl 
y  ltose  as  she  was  ca"   ' 
lg  with  a  cup  of  coffee. 
t..<-  lull  of  pitying 

"Poor  chile!"  she  said.  "All  bruises  from 
head  to  heart.  Lie  still  to-day,  and  let  mammy 
nuss  ye.  De  good  Lord  will  heal  in  his  own 
time.     'Pears  like  you  is  a  tender  flower." 

I  let  her  talk  on  ;  there  was  something  in  the 
plaintive  minor  of  her  voice,  and  her  words  were 
picturesque  and  poetical,  the  language  of  a  dou- 
ble race.  Very  little  of  the  genuine  African  was 
betrayed  cither  in  her  features  or  dress,  which 
was  plam  and  simple  enough  to  have  character- 
ized a  lady. 


The  lir.le  "iris,  hearing  her  voii 
vindow,  and  held  in  handfuls  of 
•  1,,-nvme:  ..heir  faces. 

"They's  dying  to  see  you,  Miss,  hut  are  as 
;hy  as  young  rabbits.  They  were  talking  about 
ho  sweet  lady  this  morning  before  they  said 
heir  prayers." 

"Can"you  not  coax  them  in?  I  love  chil- 
Iren  dearly." 

' '  They'll  soon  find  it  out,  Miss !  They  wasn't 
ong  finding  that  Miss  Poultney  were  not  fond 


teach  and  take  care  of  them.  But  she  got  on- 
easy  and  homesick-like  here,  and  nobody  could 
suit  her.  Mars'r  George  did  his  best,  and  when 
he  fails  thar's  no  use  trying.  She  went  back  to 
Carlinar  about  a  week  since." 

Another  little  hand  was  seen  before  the  cur- 
tain, holding  a  gorgeous  Bahama  lily,  Mammy 
Rose  took  it  as  she  had  done  tho  others,  and  gave 
it  to  me,  saying  as  she  did  so, 

"Go  now,  Miss  Jessie,  and  bring  your  sister. 
The  lady  wishes  to  see  you." 

Light  footsteps  were  heard  on  the  piazza;  soft, 


:  house,"  she  said,  charging  me  to  lie  still 


1  old  acquaintance.  It  was  not  the 
if  that  I  was  certain.  Had  I  ever 
seen  him  before?  I  could  not  tell;  they  were  all 
alike  to  me. 

Two  little  hands  led  me  up  the  shell-walk  to 
the  cottage,  when  Mammy's  breakfast  was  ready 
—little  Jessie's  and  Georgia's.  Two  little  mouths 
gave  mc  kisses  before  night,  and  prattled  and 
called  me,  as  I  bade  them,  Miss  Margy.  The 
new  governess  was  no  longer  a  stranger. 

The  lessons  began  by  degrees,  and  soon  be- 
came  the  absorbing  amusement  of  the  morning  ; 
not  cold,  dry  tasks,  but  pleasant  talks  about 
pleasant  ihiii.:;-.  Uiiie  sia.es  n.id  iiguie-.  and 
little  copy-books  letters  and  words  to  be  irnita- 

get  the  reward  he  had  promised  t 


the  wires,  limbered  the  keys,  and  tried  "Rous- 
seau's Dream,"  my  first  lesson.  The  children 
were  delighted.  So  with  efforts  to  give  pleasure, 
and  struggles  to  forget  pain,  passed  the  first  days 
at  Lake  Cottage. 


its  allusions  and  inquiries  as  the  Sphinx's  rid- 
dle, until  little  Georgia  unconsciously  solved  the 
enigma,  and  left  me  in  a  tumult  of  feelings  diffi- 
cult to  describe. 

"Don't  you  see,  Jessie,  this  is  papa's  pretty 

seal?   Doesn't  he  write  nice  letters,  Miss  Mai  g;  ■"' 

The  child  had  picked  up  the  envelope,  and  was

were  busy  with  the  plan  and  its  execution.  They 
played  less  than  usual  during  play-hours,  came 
often  to  ask  how  to  spell  a  word,  and  sometimes 
brought  a  slate  for  me  to  make  a  capital  letter 
for  them.  Tilly  was  in  their  secret,  and  looked 
both  wise  and  important  whenever  Mammy  Rose 
inquired  what  made  her  young  ladies  so  very 
quiet.  I  only  half  suspected  the  truth  until  they 
came  to  ask  me  to  fold  and  direct  the  precious 
manuscript,  which  I  did  without  curious  inspec- 
tion, knowing  well  it  was  going  to  no  severe 

Mammy  Rose  was  overjoyed. 
"  O,  Miss,  you  should  have  read  it,"  she  said. 
"No  infants  ever  wrote  such  a  letter  before. 
'Pears  like  it  will  do  Mars'r  George's  heart  good. 
You  should  have  seen  how  many  times  they 
thanked  him  for  sending  dear  Miss  Margy  to 
us.  Mammy  Rose's  hands  are  getting  old  and 
stiff;  but  no  matter  now." 

Rose  was  an  exception  to  the  ordinary  rule 
of  servitude,  in  that  she  had  early  been  taught 
ad  needle-work.     Her  story  is

A  letter  with  a  black  seal,  and  from  Kittie. 
"Poor  Mrs.  Harris!"  was  my  inen;.al  cxcla- 

ther.  as  I  supposed,  but  her  only  son,  who  had 
fallen  on  the  battle-field— Kittic's  idolized  broth- 
er Gadsden,  in  college  only  the  winter  before, 
when  mother  and  sister  were  so  eloquent  in  his 
.     Like  many  other  gallant  youth  of  Mis- 
sissippi, he  had  responded  to  the  call  of  his  great 
jsman  and  fallen  in  his  first  engagement. 
Poor  Gadsden!;'  Kiuie  wrote.      "He  was 
beautiful  to  be  trodden  underfoot  in  battle, 
it  breaks  my  heart  to  think  of  it.     He  had 
ir  an  enemy,  and  why  should  he  have  been 
called  to  fight  ?     I  am  brotherless  now,  like  you, 
dear  Margy,  and  know  how  to  pity  you.     I  did 
know  before,  though  my  heart" ached  sorely 
for  you.     Mother  says  it  will  kill  her,  and  I  am 
afraid  it  may,  for  Gadsden  was  her  dearest  idol." 
Poor  Kittie!     My  heart  ached  sorely  for  her 
iw— the  gay,  happy  girl,  drinking  her'first  life- 
draught  of  bitter  sorrow. 

Summer  and  autumn  wore  away.  The  cotton 
/as  picked  and  the  cane  ground.  All  the  ma- 
hincry  of  the  plantation  appeared  to  work  as 
moothly  as  though  the  master  had  not  been 
undreds  of  miles  away.  The  overseer  was  a 
aithful  old  darkey  w  ho  had  come  from  Carolina 


of  faithful  service,  was  left  with 
papers"  at  bis  death.  Put  a  young  wiie

speaking  to  me  one  day  of  freedom.     "Mars'r

make  dem  better  off  by  staying  wid  them.

sis !  I  would  like  to  have  dem  boys  learn  to 

d,  and  know  why  de  good  Lord  gives  dem 

heads  as  well  as  hands." 

Never  from  one  of  the  hundred  servants  did  I 
hear  a  word  of  disloyalty  to  their  master;  their 
"  ief  regret  was  in  not  being  able  to  read  and

a  piazza   to  bear  me  read  a 

chapter  from  the  Bible — Colonel  Hamilton,  in 

of  his  letters,  having  asked  me  to  do  this  if

■  vagabond  preachers.  The  first  evening  I

until  I  closed   the   book,  when   a 


simultaneous  shout  of  "Glory!'

meeting  cry, 


was  echoed  from 


.  with  wild,  sparkling  eves,  limp- 
ed up  to  the  piazza,  drew  something  from  under 
her  silk  apron  folded  carefully  in  two  or  three 
wrappings. 

"Will  good  missis  tell  me  ef  dis  ver  is  like  her

"Just  the  same,  Dinah.    God's  books  are  all

CHAPTER  VIII. 

Winter  wrought  but  little  change  in  the  su 
mer  aspect  of  Forest  Lake.  It  was  difficult

chaplain's  salary  at  the  end  of  the  year." 

But  as  spring  drew  near  I  began  to  grow  lan- 
guid and  spiritless.  Unending  summer  wearied 
mc,  and  I  longed  for  *■■!, ■„.■!■:  :.n~  clear  and  crisp

ing  which 

whenever  I  closed  my  eyes  to  the  light  two  great 
yellow  fire-balls  glared  at  me  unpityingly.  Fe- 
ver succeeded.  Thoughts  of  death  came  to  mo 
in  the  silent  night-time,  not  dark  and  terrible, 
but  calm  and  pleasant,  like  the  soft  whispers  of 
loved  ones.  They  were  all  with  me  again.  My 
lost  ones  and  their  home  was  not  far  away,  as  I 
had  fancied.  A  physician  from  Gainesville  re- 
mained constantly  at  the.  cottage,  and  Manmiv 
Rose  never  to*

regarded  as  i 
recognized  the  tender  inquiry,  "How  is  de  M 
sis?"  and  would  have  replied,  but  the  faculty 
speech  had  quite  deserted  me. 

One  evening  there  was  an  unusual  stir  at  t 
cottage,  where  every  thing  had  been  silent 
long.  I  tried  to  think  what  it  meant,  but  v>

"  I  don't  wish  a  permit,  Aunty.  I  don't  rec-

to  detain  me  a  moment  after  I  get  ready  to  go. 
I  am  going  to  the  gun-boats  ;  but  you  must  not 
know  when  nor  how,  for  fear  the  rebels  should 
have  you  over  the  coals  for  it.  There  is  an-

would  like  Tom  to  wait  upon  him?  I'll  give

Surprise  was  written  on  every  feature  of  Mad- 
am Hamilton's  benign  face. 

"Are  you  certain  you  have  strength  and  cour- 
age for  such  an  enterprise,  my  dear  child?  You 
look  like  a  shadow."

She  kissed  my  cheek,  and  said,  fervently, 
' '  May  God  prosper  you,  my  child ! " 
The  war-steamer  passed  up  the  river  that 
night,  as  Tom  had  predicted,  and  would  be 
back  within  two  days.  The  note  was  sent,  and, 
at  Tom's  suggestion,  a  place  appointed  for  sig-

All  that  night  Tom  watched  at  the  place  des-

A  SOLDIER'S  DREAM. 


THE  CAPTURE  OF  SAVANNAH. 

After  having  completed  his  grand  march  through 
Georgia,  from  Atlanta  to  Savannah,  General  Sher- 
man's first  object  was  to  communicate  with  the  fleet 
off  Savannah.  This  he  accomplished  by  the  capture 
of  Fort  M'AUister,  the  only  serious  obstruction  to 
the  navigation  of  the  Ogecliee  River.  The  fort

OUT  OF  BONDAGE. 


I  was  captured  at  Drury's  Bluff  on  the  16th  of 
May  last— the  day  on  which,  advancing  undercover 
of  a  heavy  fog,  the  rebels  surprised  and  drove  in 
General  Butler's  lines,  drawn  menacingly  around 
Fort  Darling.  General  Heckmun,  of  New^  Jersey, 
formerly  my  commander, 

had  long  bee 
leader  into  the  rebel  capital,  but  I  had  hoped 
tor  it  as  a  victor,  not  as  a  captive ;  and  as  wo  marcii- 
cd  along  the  tilths  street-  1  found  little  pleasure  in 
coiitempliiting  the  situation.  Meditation,  however, 
was  not  long  protracted.  Very  soon  we  were  halted 
in  front  of  a  large  three-story  brick  building,  ami, 
looking  up,  we  saw  this  sign,  which  to  so  many 

ble  outrage  and  wrong-doing: 

LIBEY  AND  SON, 

SHIP  CHANDLERS  AND  GROCERS. 
We  knew  at  a  glance  what  that  meant,  and  what 
fate  was  to  be  ours.  Entering  one  of  the  main 
rooms  we  registered  our  names,  which,  being  ac- 
complished, the  keeper,  "Dick"  Turner— a  name 
beside  which  even  Haynau's  is  respectable— inti- 
mated that  our  greenbacks,  haversacks,  and  wool- 
en blankets  must  be  handed  over  for  the  use  of  the 
Confederacy,  and  proceeded  accordingly  to  dispos- 
aess  us  of  these  articles,  remarking,  however,  that 
the  money  would  be  returned  to  us  upon  leaving  the 
prison,  which  of  course  we  did  not  believe  for  a  1110-

On  the  last  day  of  May,  however,  we  were  de- 
livered from  the  terrors  of  the  Libey ;  and  with 
over  eleven  hundred  enlisted  men  were  sent  to 
Macon,  Georgia,  where  we  arrived  on  the  5th  of 
June.  Here,  where  we  found  a  thousand  brotber- 
officers  in  confinement,  we  fared  much  better  so  far 
as  rations  were  concerned,  but  were  compelled  for 
several  weeks  to  lie  on  the  ground  in  the  open  air, 
suffering  terribly  from  the  scorching  sun  by  day, 
and  the  heavy  dews  at  night.  But  we  were  not 
idle  during  our  confinement.  Loving  and  panting 
for  liberty  we  completed,  during  the  months  of 
June  and  July,  five  tunnels  with  a  view  to  escape 
—uiie  being  eighty  feet  in  length.     Unfortunately, 

which  we  intended  to  escape,  these  tunnels  were 
oil  discovered  and  destroyed,  and  we  were  placed 
under  a  surveillance  so  rigid  in  its  character  as  to 
render  impossible  any  future  attempts  in  that  di- 
rection. The  rebels  were  helped  to  their  discovery 
by  one  Silve.es,  a  lieutenant  in  an  Illinois  cavalry

us,  on  the  29th  of  July  sent  some  600  officers  to 
Savannah,  where  we  remained  over  a  month,  being 
treated  with  great  kindness.  Thence,  on  the  13th 
of  September,  we  were  taken 
coiiiiiied  in  the  jail-yard— as  nil 
find  any  where  out  of  Richmon 
place  was  not  by  any  means  without  incident  and 
excitement.  Almost  daily  we  had  "some  new 
thing"  to  divert  our  attention.  Only  the  day  after 
our  arrival,  the  shells  from  our  batteries  on  Morris 
Island  fired  a  dozen  buildings  near  the  jail,  which 
were  entirely  destroyed,  notwithstanding  the  efforts 
of  the  negroes,  *vho  now  work  the  "machines"  in 
that  city,  to  stay  the  progress  of  the  conflagration. 
Frequently  we  were  in  danger  from  the  fragments 
of  exploding  shells,  but  Providence  was  on  our  side, 
and  none  of  us  were  ever  struck.  It  was  a  grand 
thought  to  us,  prisoners  in  the  hands  of  a  cruel  en- 
emy, that  our  brothers  lying  out  on  the  harbor- 
islands  were  slowly  but  surely  avenging  our  wrongs, 
battering  down  about  their  ears  the  homes  of  the 
pestilent  authors  of  this  wicked  rebellion.  One 
day  a  shell  came  into  the  city  labeled  thus :  "  Show 
me  the  way  to  the  Arsenal,"  but  I  did  not  hear 
that  any  of  the  citizens  put  themselves  out  of 
the  way  to  assist  the  visitor  toward  the  destination 
which  General  Foster's  facetious  artillerist  desired 
it  to  reach.  We  had  also  a  subject  for  discussion  in 
the  ravages  of  the  yellow-fever,  which  just  then

On  the  6th  of  October  our  prison-life  at  Charles- 
ton came  to  an  end,  and  we  were  started  on  a  spe- 
cial train  for  Columbia,  one  hundred  and  thirty 
miles  distant,  where  a  prisoners'  camD  ha '   ' 
established.     But  I  had,  for  my

fort.     Night 

with  hickory  clubs,  we  made  our  way  with  difficulty 
out  of  the  swamp,  and  pushed  forward  in  our  flight. 
By  daylight  the  following  morning  wo  had  ac- 
complished a  distance  of  twenty  miles,  not,  how- 
ever, without  experiencing  a  new  alarm  from  the 
hounds,  who  again  got  on  our  track.  But  by  -wad- 
ing a  number  of  small  streams  wc  managed  to  elude 
our  pursuers,  and  at  dawn  sought  cover  in  a  heavy 
cypress  swamp.  This  method  of  travel  was  con- 
tinued every  night  for  a  week.  By  this  time  our 
rations  were  exhausted,  and  the  question  of  sub- 
sistence began  to  grow  unpleasantly  urgent.    With 


of  plenty,  wo  had  si

some  negroes  at  work  in  a  field.  We  knew  they 
would  not  betray  us,  whatever  others  with  a  whiter 
skin  might  do  upon  opportunity.  We  had  no  dif- 
ficulty in  persuading  them  that  we  were  Federal 
officers  escaping  from  rebel  bondage,  and  they  re- 
ceived us  at  once  to  the  shelter  of  their  cabins,  dis- 
playing the  greatest  delight  at  ourpresence.  There 
was  something  almost  royal  in  their  cheerfully-ren- 
dered service;  they  seemed  to  look  upon  us  as  in 
some  way  sufferers  for  their  sake,  and  they  fairly 
loaded  us  with  kindnesses.  "Massa's  ben'  wel- 
come;" this  was  the  greeting,  the  spice  that  en- 
riched all  their  homely  talk.  They  procured  us 
bread,  corn-meal,  salt,  and  other  articles;  gave  us 


down  blessings  and  "God-speeds"  on  our  heads. 
One  thing  particularly  struck  us  in  our  intercourse

Was  he  friend  or  foe?  Necessarily  we  resorted 
to  conversational  strategy,  putting  and  answering 
questions  with  the  utmost  wariness.  We  were  not 
long  in  discovering  the  status  of  the  stranger,  and 
probably  be  had  never  been  embraced  before  with

fore  the  cheerful  blaze  of  his  great  hearth,  he  told

manage  to  keep  at  bay  all  the  forces  sent

STATE  SOVEREIGNTY. 

DURING  the  progress  of  tbe  war  and  the 
desolation  of  the  Southern  States  the  trng- 
icul  sophistry  of  the  theory  of  supreme  State 
Sovereignty  must  have  been  brought  home  to 
many  thoughtful  minds  with  overpowering  force. 
It  is  a  theory  invented  by  those  who  were  hos- 
tile to  the  Union,  and.  carefully  cultivated  by 
those  who  meant  to  try  to  destroy  the  nation  the 
moment  they  ceased  to  control  it.  But  experi- 
ence has  now  shown  its  practical  folly;  for  it 
appears  that  the  sentiment  of  nationality  is  so 
much  stronger  in  the  country  than  that  of  local 
independence  that  the  question  is  virtually  set- 
tled. The  instincts  of  the  people  of  the  United 
States  have  determined  that,  as  in  every  politic- 
al society  there  can  be  but  one  supreme  and 
sovereign  authority,  that  authority  in  this  coun- 
try is  the  National  Government.     States,  coun- 

people  have  shown 

i  the  national  independ- 

Equal  civil  liberty 

i  much  endangered  by 

may  be — as  it  is  by  separation.  The  enemies 
of  equal  civil  liberty  in  the  United  States  have 
always  been  the  advocates  of  supreme  State  Sov- 
ereignty; but  its  friends  have  always  seen  that 
the  truest  defense  of  liberty  is  confidence  in  the 
people  as  a  whole,  and  not  in  the  State  divi- 

Indeed  the  idea  that  Iowa,  Minnesota,  or 
"Wisconsin,  arbitrarily  measured  off  from  the 
territory  of  the  United  States  by  the  authority 
of  the  United  States,  and  settled  by  New  En- 
glanders,  New  Yorkers,  rennsylvanians,  and 
various  Europeans,  is  a  sovereign  State  inde- 

ly  foreign  to  the  United  States,  is  sheer  mid- 
summer madness.  A  ward  in  the  cities  of  New 
York  or  Chicago  has  just  as  much  original  sov- 
ereignty independent  of  the  city  as  such  a  State 
has  of  the  country. 

Nor  is  the  case  really  different  with  what  are 
called  the  original  States.  They  were  generally 
tracts  granted  to  companies  under  royal  patents. 
Their  boundaries  were  expressed  with  amusing 
Vagueness.  The  original  colonists  were  mainly 
from  England.     They  brought  with  them  a  na- 

They  were  not  originally  sovereign  nor  inde- 
pendent ;  but  as  united  colonies  they  won  a 
united  independence,  and  established  a  united 
government  which  tlie\  i-amd  too  weak  because 
it  left  the  uniou  subject  to  the  individual  con- 
trol of  the  States.  Thereupon  the  Union  was 
formed.  It  was  not  a  league — it  was  not  a 
treaty — it  was  not  a  confederation ;  and  the  ne- 
cessities and  instincts  of  the  people  have  ap- 
proved the  intention  of  its  wisest  friends,  show- 
ing it  to  be  in  the  truest  sense  a  nation.  The 
war  proves  how  deep  and  strong  the  national  in- 
stinct  is;    and    it.   is   impossible   thai    the  grunt 

the  Southern  States  who  has  hitherto  held  to  th 
hopeless  and  impracticable  dogma  of  State  Sov- 
ereignty. 

MORE  RAILWAY  MURDERS. 

Ik  the  people  who  live  along  the  line  of  th 

Erie  and  other  railroads,  and  who  daily  go  am 

come  through  the  Bergen  tunnel,  propose  t 

Buffer  themselves  to  be  slaughtered  like  sheep  i 

*     '     Ion,  they  will  undoubtedly  meet  ilia 


But  t 


sacre,  have  the  right  to  ask  of  the 
the  Erie  Railway,  which  owns  the 
Messrs.  RonEnx  H.  Berdell,  Charles  Minot, 
J.  W.  Guppy,  Wm.  R.  Earr,  and  H.  Hoebs, 


Genera]  :: 


Guide  as  President  and 
\ssistant  Superintendents,  why  it  is 
lighted  tunnel,  1400  feet  long,  and 
through  which  about  a  hundred  trains  pass  every 
day,  such  precautions  are  not  taken  as  to  render 
accidents  virtually  impossible  ?  If  the  managers 
of  the  road  can  not  adopt  such  precautions,  they 
ought  not  to  be  intrusted  with  so  immense  a 
responsibility,  and  are  morally  guilty  of  all  the 
horrible  consequences. 

ment  rely  for  the  safety  of  the  trains  are  a 
temporary  stoppage  before  entering  the  tunnel, 
a  delay  of  five  minutes  in  following  another 
train,  and  colored  lanterns  and  torpedoes  for 
warning.  There  are  no  lights  in  the  tunnel, 
no  signal-men.  Whoever  enters  that  fatal 
darkness  should  leave  all  hope  behind,  con- 
scious as  he  is  that  in  certain  chauces,which  nre 
most  likely  to  occur,  he  is  sure  to  be  a  victim. 
For  instance,  last  week  a  train  stopped  in  the 
tunnel  just  before  emerging.  As  it  started  the 
coupling  broke.  The  colored  lantern  was  hung 
in  the  rear,  and  torpedoes  were  placed  upon  the 
track ;  but  the  train  that  followed  neither  saw 
nor  heard,  and  came  thundering  on,  with  the 
inevitable  result. 

That  result  will  constantly  repeat  itself  if  the 
passengers  do  not  help  themselves^  The  loss 
of  life  upon  railroads  during  the  last  year  is 
more  than  double  what  it  was  fpr  several  pre- 
vious years :  and  the  hope  of  arresting  the  in- 
creasing mortality  does  not  rest  with  the  man- 
agers, but  with  the  passengers  and  the  legisla- 
tures. We  hope  that  in  our  own  Assembly  and 
Senate  the  Central  Railroad  of  this  State  will 
be  firmly  met  when  it  comes  to -ask  for  addi- 
tional privileges,  and  that  they  will  be  granted 
only  upon  the  most  stringent  conditions,  secur- 
ing the  safety  and  comfort  of  the  public,  and 
upon  the  clearest  showing  that  the  public  wel- 
fare demands  additional  grants.  Are  the  lives 
of  the  people  of  the  State  of  New  York  not  as 
precious  as  the  dividends  of  the  railroads? 
Those  people  will  have  a  right  to  be  disappoint- 
ed if  their  representatives  do  not  defend  them 
from  the  dangers  of  railroad  travel. 


THE  SIGNS  AT  SAVANNAH. 

In  the  late  article  of  the  Richmond  Soifincf, 
which  sounds  like  a  cry  of  rage  and  despair,  and 
which  is  important  because  the  paper  is  known 
to  speak  the  views  of  the  rebel  chief  Davis,  nre 
these  words:   "If  an  unpropitious  Providence 

Yankee  master.  Of  all  the  peo'ple  on  earth  we 
have  most  reason  to  loathe  and  dread  them. 
Any  terms  by  any  other  would  be  preferable  to 
jMil'in-ation  by  them." 

This  is  the  old  cry  of  Davib.  "I  would 
rather  fraternize  with  hyenas  than  Yankees." 
The  article,  indeed,  has  the  sullen  tone  of  all 
his  speeches.  It  reveals  the  gloomy  desperation 
which  feels  that  one  sole  course  remains  to  ex- 
cite a  final  effort,  and  that  is  to  tell  the  whole 
terrible  truth.  We  read  no  longer  that  the  in- 
dependence of  "the  confederacy"  is  virtually 
accomplished.  We  hear  no  more  the  loud  boast 
that  one  "Southron"  will  eat  up  twenty  Yan- 
kees and  rise  hungry.  Wo  see  now  the  alterna- 
tive of  "the  dread  event"  of  failure  openly 
proclaimed,  with  the  full  consciousness  of  the 
writer  that  if  that  fails  there  is  an  end  of  hope. 

But  the  assumption  of  the  article  in  the  Sen- 
tinel, of  a  united  people  acting  under  the  sub- 
lime inspiration  of  a  great  purpose,  is  utterly 
exposed  by  the  conduct  of  the  citizens  of  Sa- 


Georgia.  The  tone  of

Prance,  or  Spain  is  one  that  springs  from  the 
insanity  of  chagrin  and  bad  baffled  ambition. 
What  have  the  citizens  of  Georgia,  for  instance, 
to  gain  by  passing  under  British  rule,  even  if  it 
were  possible?  If  they  had  suffered  some  in- 
tolerable'outrage  for  which  there  was  no  hope 
of  redress— if  they  had  before  them  only  a  yoko 
of  hopeless  tyranny — if  any  vital  right  of  theirs 
were  threatened— it  is  conceivable  that  they 
should  close  their  eyes  to  every  thing  but  separa- 
tion, even  at  the  risk  of  utter  desolation  and  ruin. 
But  the  people  of  Georgia  "seceded,"  as  they 
called  it,  in  virtue  of  what  they  declared  to  be 
a  constitutional  right.  Yet  it  by  no  means  fol-

conduct  of  the  Georgians  during  Sherman's 
march.  If  they  had  chosen  they  could  have 
destroyed  him.  But  thoy  did  not  choose.  The 
rebel  papers  halloed  for  a  general  hunt,  in  which 
every  man  was  to  take  part.  But  the  cry  had 
no  more  meaning  or  effect  than  the  present 
Bhout  that  any  master  is  better  than  the  Yan-

the  Southern  section  of  the  country  have  become 
suddenly  warmly  patriotic,  but  that  they  are 
men  still ;  that  they  yield  to  inevitable  laws, 


They  show  more.  They  show  under  what  a 
savage  despotism  large  numbers  of  American 
citizens  in  the  Southern  States  have  been  lying. 
A  fierce  and  unscrupulous  oligarchy  has  imposed 
its  will  by  terror  upon  those  States,  as  for  many 
years  it  did  upon  the  people  of  the  United  States. 
But  these  last  finally  spurned  the  tyranny  and 
threw  it  off,  and  the  example  will  be  followed 
in  the  part  of  the  country  where  the  despotism 
has  been  latterly  most  terrible :  that  in  New  Or- 
leans, and  Vicksburg,  and  Nashville,  there  has 
been  so  little  expression  of  loyalty  to  the  Gov- 
ernment must  be  in  large  part  ascribed  to  the 
fear  that  those  places  would  be  recovered  again 
by  the  rebels.  But  Sherman's  grasp  of  Savan- 
nah is  a  sure  grasp.  The  inhabitants  feel  it. 
They  do  not  believe  the  Government  will  relax 
that  hold,  and  therefore  they  speak  out. 

We  need  not  be  deceived.      We  need  not 

But  it  is  enough  to  show  that  there  are  some 
people  at  the  South  who  are  more  willing  to  sub-

That  the  people  of  Savannah  should  be  starv- 
ing is  remarkable  when  we  remember  that,  un- 
til Sherman's  arrival,  there  had  been  uncheck- 
ed communication  between  the  city  and  the  fer- 
tile belt  of  Georgia  through  which  the  General 
made  his  agreeable  journey.  But  if  our  friends 
iii en-'  are  ivalh  suffering,  there  is  no  loyal  man 
in  the  country  who  will  not  wish  that  they  shall 
be  relieved  immediately.  On  the  other  hand, 
there  can  be  no  disposition  to  support  rebels  or 
rebel  sympathizers. 

Neither  should  there  be  any  mawkish  misun- 
derstanding about  "conciliation."  The  loyal 
citizens  of  this  country  have  no  disposition  what- 
ever to  "conciliate"  rebels  in  arms  against  the 
common  Government.  They  wish  only  that  the 
rebellion  shall  yield  to  the  resistless  and  unques- 
tionable power  of  that  Government.  But  if  it 
yields  without  fighting  so  much  the  better.  No 
loyal  man  wishes  more  bloodshed.  We  should 
all  gladly  know  that  the  last  gun  had  be/in  fired. 
But  we  do  not  propose  to  buy  off  any  body  from 
firing.  If  the  rebels  stop  because  they  seo  re- 
sistance is  hopeless  they  will  be  wise  men ;  they 
will  save  themselves  and  us  much  suffering. 
But  they  ought  to  have  learned  that  they  dread- 
fully mistake  if  they  suppose  that  they  are  to  be 
"conciliated"  to  stop. 

Yet  they  ought  also  to  understand  that  there 
is  no  vindictive  feeling  in  the  hearts  of  Union 
men.  There  has  been  very  little  personal  feel- 
part  in  this  war.     Probably

so  passionless;  but  the  very  want  of  passion  has 
made  the  growing  resolution  more  impressive. 
When  the  war  began  there  was  a  very  general 
feeling  that  it  was  to  be  short.  There  were  earn- 
est exhortations  not  to  "exasperate"  our  rebel- 
lious countrymen.  The  early  <>rders  of  some  of 
our  Generals  read  like  pure  folly  in  the  light 
of  greater  knowledge.  We  all

er its  vast  expenditures  of  time  and  money  and 
life,  the  country  is  only  the  more  inflexibly  de- 
termined. But  there  is  no  more  wish  of  re- 
venge than  there  was  in  the  beginning.  There 
is  but  one  desire  in  the  hearts  of  loyal  men,  and 
that  is,  a  peace  which  shall  be  secure  and  per- 

Let  us  hope  then  that  no  step  will  be  taken 
which  will  lead  armed  rebels  to  suppose  that 
our  purpose  is  altered,  and  that  we  hope  to  at- 
tain by  blarney  what  wo  can  not  carry  by  bul- 
lets. Our  conduct  should  be  such  as  to  unde- 
ceive, on  the  one  hand,  those  who  have  been 
taught  that  wo  are  robbers,  murderers,  and 
brutes;  and,  upon  the  other,  those  who  have

slavery  out  of  the  Territories;  or  refused  to  re- 
turn fugitive  slaves  ;  or  passed  liberty  bills  ;  or 
threatened  the  perpetuity  of  the  system  ;  but 
only  because  of  such  a  jealousy  of  the  profits  and 
pleasures  of  slavery  that  the  Yankees  were  de- 
termined to  appropriate  to  their  own  use  slaves 
and  plantations  together!  The  truth  is,  thinks 
the  Dispatch,  that  Mr.  Lincoln,  who  declared 
that  the  Union  could  not  permanently  exist  half 
slave  and  half  free,  was  envious  of  Mr.  Jeffer- 
son Davis's  happiness  and  per-eentages  derived 
from  his  human  cattle,  and  has  therefore  under- 
taken a  vast  crusade  to  compel  the  Union  to  be 
wholly  and  harmoniously  slave-holding. 

That,  of  course,  explains  General  Sherman's 
remark.  He  has  been  signally  successful  in  ex- 
tending the  area  of  slavery  by  force  of  arms.

seizing  upon  some  of  those  who  came  with  him 
to  Savannah  and  insisting  upon  their  being  paid 
fair  wages.  He  will  now  show  them  how  a 
Yankee  soldier  keeps  his  word.  He  will  teach

GENERAL  CIALDINI'S  SPEECH. 


dini,  an  old  liberal  of  1831,  who  has  long  sat 
silent  in  his  place,  and  who  was  bold  enough 
to  say  to  Garibaldi,  when  in  the  height  of  his 
popular  favor  he  took  his  seat  in  the  Chambers 
in  his  red  shirt,  "  Your  red  shirt  is  an  insult  to 
the  Legislature." 

Cialdini's  speech  was  upon  the  question  of 
the  removal  of  the  -capital  of  Italy  from  Turin 
to  Florence,  and  seems  to  have  carried  tho  na-

hostile  to  the  unify  at  Italy,  and  the  French  are 
masters  of  Mt.  Cenis.  The  cession  of  Savoy 
and  Nice  make  Turin  no  longer  safe  as  the  Ital-

of  Italy  nre  the  two  slopes  of  the  Apennines,

battle-ground.  All  the  military  resources  of

We  have  previously,  in  No.  410,  Volume  VIII., 
given  an  illustration  of  General  Butler's  Canal  at 
Dutch  Gap,  while  the  work  was  still  in  operation. 
The  more  picturesque  and  interesting  -ketch,  which 
we  give  on  the  first  page,  we  reproduce  from  a 
photographic  view,  for  which  we  are  indebted  to

although  it  is  only  one-third 
straight  line.  The  bend  of  th( 
seven  miles  out  of  its  way,  bringing  it  around 
again  to  a  point  only  two  hundred  yards  from  its 
point  of  deflection.  A  canal  across  these  two  hun- 
dred yards  not  only  saves  a  journey  of  seven  miles, 
but  also  evades  the  obstructions  and  batteries  which 
make  the  bend  impassable  to  our  fleet. 

The  work  was  surveyed  on  the  7th  of  August, 
and  three  days  afterward  was  actually  commenced. 
Brigadier-General  B.  C.  Ludlow,  of  General  But- 
ler's staff,  acted  as  superintendent,  assisted  by  Ma- 
jor Peter  S.  Michie,  Chief  of  Engineers.  The  en- 
emy occupied  elevated  positions  threatening  the 
workmen,  and  it  was  necessary  at  first  to  proceed  in 
the  same  manner  as  in  throwing  up  parallels  in  front 
of  an  enemy's  fortifications.  In  the  beginning  a 
declivity  covered  the  working  parties  who  at  first 
dug  ditches,  throwing  the  earth  up  as  a  breast-work. 
Several  of  these  at  length  merged  into  a  single  wide 
ditch,  with  a  dam  left  so  that  the  rush  of 
opening  the  lower  part  of  the  canal  would 
mz<-  the  workmen  in  the  upper  prut,  who 
dig  fifteen  feet  below  tide-mark.  Soon  su 
ress  was  made  that  rails  were  laid  and  cars  supplied 
the  place  of  wheel-barrows. 

Tho  enemy  en  rted  mortar  batteries  under  cover 
of  the  river-bank,  which  proved  a  great  ainn.yn.i-. 
Then  bomb-proofs  ha.1  to  be.  built  for  roetirit;,  to  the 
workmen.  In  the  b<  ginning  -New  York  soldier:, 
were  employed,  but  these  were  subsequently  re-

I  paced  my  room  for  more  than  an  hour  after  I

But  if  she  were  found  guilty?— if  the  propert

blood  was  flowing  from  my  wounded  feet! 

My  cry  roused  the  man  who  was  watching  in  the 
sitting-room.     He  came  out,  bringing  his  lamp. 

"Why,  Sir!"  he  cried.  "What  are  yott  doing? 
Ton  are'hiding  your  pillow  !" 

And  it  was  true !  I  was  trying,  or  rather  had 
been  trying,  to  squeeze  my  pillow  through  a  small 

still  protruding  from  the  hole  over  my  head,  and 
one  of  my  hands  grasped  it. 

His  words  awoke  me  fully;  and  like  lightning 
the  truth  flashed  on  me.  I  was  a  somnambulist! 
I  had  hidden  my  property  myself!  Doricourt  was 
called  by  my  desire.  He  came  ;  and  one  of  the  of-

and  examined  the  hole,  while  I  wiped  and  bound  up

The  next  evening  we  were  entering  Broad  River,

dotted  all  over  with  vessels  of  every  description, 
from  a  stately  ship  of  the  line  to  a  tiny  sail-boat. 
Conspicuous  among  them  was  the  noble  Wabash,

The  decks  of  the  Arago  were  crowded  upon 
our  i.vrival  with  every  shade  and  condition  of 
humanity.  Ofl'ieers  and  their  families  putting 
on  airs;  sick  and  wounded  soldiers  looking  as 
though  home  would  be  a  blessed  shelter ;  n  whole 
corps  of  enthusiastic  teachers  whose  labors  had 
somehow  been  brought  to  a  premature  end ; 
cotton  speculators,  clergymen,  and  contrabands, 
all  waiting  the  joyful  signal  to  weigh  anchor  and 

Captain  Gadsden  came  to  me  for  a  moment, 
saying,  gallantly, 

"  I  ,iin  charged  !>v  your  escort  to  take  the  very

of  a  gentleman  I  will  do  it." 

He  kept  his  word. 

Tom's  conduct  from  the  first  had  been  most 
exemplary,  and  his  anxiety  lest  he  might  lose 
me  at  Port  Royal  was  simply  amusing.  I  had 
found  no  opportunity  to  speak  to  him  of  his 
master  since  we  left  florida,  but  the  «;■>  he 
peered  around  among  the  prisoners  convinced 
me  he  had  an  object.  While  the  steamer  was 
getting  out  of  port  I  observed  him  on  the  upper 
deck  not  far  from  me,  and  beckoned  to  him.

TWO  DATS  WITH  MOi  Bl

riding  behind  in

I  turned  to  look  back  at  these  words,  and  sa 
carbines  leveled  at  mo  at  twenty  paces  distant,  and 
the  Sergeant,  who  bad  watched  every  motion  of  the 
,n?gro,  came  riding  toward  me  with  revolver  drawn 
and  the  sharp  command,  "Halt.     Surrender!" 

We  had  reached  a  low  place  where  the  Opequan 
Creek  crosses  the  pike,  a  mile  from  Newtown.  The 
train  was  not  a  quarter  of  a  mile  ahead,  br  t  out  of 
sight  for  the  moment  over  the  west  ridge. 

High  stone-walls  lined  the  pike  on  eitaer  sido, 
and  a  narrow  bridge  across  the  stream  was  in  front 
of  me  and  already  occupied  by  the  three  rascals  who 
had  acted  as  advance-guard,  who  now  coolly  turned 
round  and  presented  carbines  also  from  their  point 


abled,  and  hesitated  an  instant  eon=iderine;  what  to 
do,  and  quite  in  doubt  whether  I  was  myself  or  some 
other  fellow  whom  I  had  read  of  as  captured  and 
hung  by  guerrillas:  but at  the  repetition  of  tho  sharp

ons  were  expected  to  leave  Sheridan's  head-quar-

infantry  as  guard,  and  a  troop  of  cavalry  as  out- 

An  hour's  ride  of  eight  miles  along  a  picketed 

"  Valley  Pike,"  and  near  the  bead-quarters  of  the 
army.  Torbert  was  there,  and  I  awaited  his  de- 
tailed instructions.  Unavoidable  delay  ensued. 
Dispatches  were  to  be  sent,  and  they  were  not  yet 
readj'.  An  hour  passed,  and,  meantime,  the  indus- 
trious wagon-train  was  lightly  and  rapidly  rolling 
away  down  the  pike.  The  last  wagon  passed  out 
of  sight,  and  the  rear-guard  closed  up  behind  it  be- 
fore I  was  ready  to  start.  No  other  train  was  to 
go  for  four  days.  I  must  overtake  this  one  or  give 
up  my  journey.  At  length,  accompanied  by  a  sin- 
gle orderly,  and  my  colored  sen-ant,  George  Wash- 
ington, a  contraband,  commonly  called  "  Wash,"  I 
started  in  pursuit  of  the  train. 

As  I  had  nearly  passed  'Newtown  I  overtook  a 
email  party  apparently  of  the  rear-guard  of  the  train, 
who  were  lighting  their  pipes  and  buying  cakes  and 
apples  at  a  small  grocery  on  the  right  of  the  pike, 
and  who  seemed  to  be  in  charge  of  a  non-commis- 
sioned officer.

'■'All  right,  Sir,"  he  replied  with  a  smile,  and

volvers and  Spencer's  repeating  carbine.     I  noticed

of  a  splendid  gray  horse,  with  his  right  hand  grasp-

his  saddle— a  slight,  medium-sized  man,  sharp  of 
feature,  quick  of  sight,  lithe  of  limb,  with  a  bronzed 
face  of  the  color  and  tension  of  whip-cord.  His

iirm  set  expressive  mouth,  largo  ears,  deep  gray 
eyes,  high  forehead,  large  well-shaped  head,  and  his

Abv-by,  ■]■  i.-djng  my  horse  and  quietly  ex- 
amining my  papers,  presently  looked  up  with  a  pe- 
culiar gleam  of  satisfaction  on  his  face. 

"Ah,  Captain  B !  Inspector-General  of 's 

Cavalry!     Good-morning,  Captain!     Glad  to  see 

prefer  to  see  this  morning  to  yourself,  and  that  is 
your  commander.  Were  you  present,  Sir,  the  oth- 
er clay  at  the  hanging  of  eight  of  my  men  as  guer- 
rilla- at  brant  Royal?" 

I  answered  him  firmly,  "I  was  present,  Sir; 
and,  like  you,  have  only  to  regret  that  it  was  not 
the  commander  instead  of  his  unfortunate  men." 

This  answer  seemed  to  please  Mosby,  for  he  ap- 
parently expected  a  denial.  He  assumed  a  grim 
smile,  and  directed  Lieutenant  Whiting  to  search 

My  gold  hunting-watch  and  chain,  several  ring=, 
a  set  of  shirt-studs  and  sleeve-buttons,  a  Masonic 
pin,  some  coins,  and  about  three  hundred  dollars  in 
greenbacks,  with  some  letters  and  pictures  of  the 
dear  ones  at  home,  and  a  small  pocket  Bible,  were 
taken.  My  cavalry-boots,  worth  about  fifteen  dol-

to  urge  the  subj  jet. 

The  march  began  at  an  early  hour  the  ne 

morning,  and  Hie  route  ran  directly  up  tho  Bh 
Ridge.  Wo  had  emerged  from  the  forest  and  o 
cended  about  one-third  of  the  height  of  the  mour 


which  we  traveled  for  1

before  us  in  all  the  gorgeous  beauty  of  the  early 

"This  is  a  favorite  promenade  of  mine,"  said 
Mosby.  "  I  love  to  see  your  people  sending  out 
their  almost  daily  raids  after  me.  There  comes  one 
of  them  now  almost  toward  us.  If  you  please  we 
will  step  behind  this  point  and  see  them  pass.  It 
may  be  the  last  sight  you  will  have  of  your  old 
friends  for  some  time,"  and,  looking  in  the  direc- 
tion he  pointed,  I  saw  a  squadron  of  my  own  regi- 
ment coming  directly  toward  us  on  a  road  running 
under  the  foot  of  the*  mountain,  and 
.-nine  foraging  expedition  down  the

while  Mosby  stood  with  folded  arms  < 


Manassas  Gap,  which  place  was  held  by  about  one 
hundred  of  Mosby's  men,  who  signaled  him  as  he 
approached,  and  here,  much  to  my  regret,  the  great 
guerrilla  left  us,  bidding  me  a  kindly  good-by. 

We  were  hurried  through  the  gap  and  down  the 
eastern  side  of  the  Blue  Ridge,  and  by  three  o'clock 
reached  Chester  Gap,  after  passing  which  we  de- 
scend into  the  valley,  and  move  rapidly  toward 
Sperryville  on  the  direct  line  to  Richmond. 

Our  guard  was  now  reduced,  as  we  are  far  within 
s,  to  Lieutenant  Whiting  and 
party  of  eleven  prisoners  had 
;hem.  There  was  also  a  pack- 
horse  carrying  our  forage,  rations,  and  some  blank- 
ets. To  the  saddle  of  this  pack-horse  are  strapped 
two  Spencer  carbineB,  muzzle  downward,  with  their 

outreinents  complete,  including  two  well-filled 

tridge-boses.

I  rode  up  again  to  the  side  of  Lieutenant  Whiting, 
and,  hke  an  echo  from  the  past,  came^back  to  me 
my  words  of  yesterday,  "Possibly  my  turn  may 
come  to-morrow." 

I  engaged  him  in  conversation,  and,  among  other 
things,  spoke  of  the  prospect  of  sudden  death  as  one. 
always  present  in  our  army  life,  and  the  tendency  it 
bad  to  either  harden  or  ameliorate  tho  charactcrac- 
cording  to  the  quality  of  th"  individual. 

He  expressed  the  opinion  which  many  hold  that 
a  brutal  man  is  made  more  brutal  by  it  and  a  re 
fined  and  cultivated  man  is  softened  and  made  mor* 
refined  by  it. 

We  were  on  the  immediate  flank  of  Early's  army. 
His  cavalry  was  all  around  us.  The  road  was  thick- 
ly inhabited.      Itwasafmc-i   ,,,_!,:.     \\  ■   r  ,.;.,,,  r  ■ 

near  another  one  or  their  camps  might  be. 

The  three  rebel  guards  were  riding  in  front  of  us 
and  on  our  flanks,  our  party  of  prisoners  was  in  the 
centre,  and  I  was  by  the  sido  of  Lieutenant  Whiting, 
wbn  acted  as  rear-guard,  when  we  entered  a  small 
copse  of  willow  which  for  a  moment  covered  the 
rood.  The  hour  was  propitious.  I  gave  the  fatal 
signal  and  instantly  threw  myself  from  my  saddle 
:,  grasping  him  around  the  arms 
■om  his  horse,  in  the  hope  of  ee-

directly  between  the  eyes  as  he  could  have  done  if 
firing  at  a  target  at  ten  pace3  distance. 

His  hold  relaxed,  and  his  ghastly  corpse  fell  from 
my  arms.

Our  position  was  now  perilous.  Not  a  man  of 
us  knew  the  country,  except  its  most  general  out- 
lines. The  rebel  camps  could  not  be  far  away ;  the 
whole  country  would  be  alarmed  in  an  hour ;  dark- 
ness was  intervening ;  and  I  doubted  not  that,  be- 


track.  One  half  our  party  had  alreadv  scattered, 
panic-stricken,  at  the  first  alarm,  and  every  man 
for  himself,  scouring  the  country  in  every  direc- 


searching  the  bodies  of  the  slain,  and  recovering 

iherefrotu,  :.imim_<  o(h,-r  filings,  my  gold  hunting- 
watch  from  the  person  of  Lieutenant  Whiting,  and 
over  eleven  hundred  dollars  in  greenbacks,  the  pro- 
ceeds, doubtless,  of  their  various  robberies  of  our 

from  ear  to  ear.  "Dey  vally  dis  nigger  at  two 
tousand  dollars.     I  tink  I  ought  to  git  de  money." 

Wo  instantly  mounted  tho  best  horses,  and,  well 
armed  with  carbine  and  revolver,  struck  directly 

would  be  the  first  place  we  should  be  sought  for, 
soon  changed  our  direction  to  the  south,  and  rode 
for  hours  directly  toward  the'  enemy  as  rapidly  as 
we  could  ride,  and  before  complete  darkness  inter- 
vened we  had  made  thirty  miles  from  the  place  of 
our  escape ;  and  then  turning  sharp  up  the  mount- 
ain we  rode  as  far  as  horses  could  climb,  and,  aban- 
doning them,  pushed  on  on  foot  through  the  whole 

'"■-•hi  i     ih  hi   P,hie  Ridge,  whence 

we  could  see  the  rebel  camp-fires,  and  view  their 
entire  lines  mid  position,  just  as  daylight  was  break- 
ing over  *be  Valley. 

The  length  of  this  weary  day,  and  the  terrible 
pangs  of  hunger  and  thirst  which  we  suffered  on 
iintain,  pertain  to  the  more  common 
a  soldier's  life,  and  I  need  not  de- 
go  still  further  south  to  avoid  tho 
tots,  and  finally  struck  tbe  Shenan-

GENERAL  BUTLER. 

(1  ENEEAL  BUTLER  has  made  a  grave  rais- 
X  take.  In  his  farewell  order  to  the  Army 
of  the  James  he  says :  "  I  have  refused  to  order

subsequent  military  operations  in  his  depart

ly  the  truth  to  say  that  the  public  faith  in  hi 
purely  military  ability  is  shaken,  and  that  hi 
retirement  from  a  purely  military  command  cai 
not  be  considered  a  public  misfortune.  Th 
war  has  winnowed  our  soldiers.  The  geniu

has  been  established.  ^  Their  names  certify  sue

It  is  very  foolish  and  untrue,  therefore,  ti 
speak  of  the  removal  of  General  Butler  as  ii 
itself  a  disgrace.  It  is  no  more  disgraceful  h 
him  than  it  would  be  to  General  Grant  to  hi 
found  out  of  place  on  a  ship  of  the  fine.     Nor  i

another-  proof  of  our  Lie  iid.- nam -Gem1  nil's,  in- 
domitable pertinacity.  He  never  undertakes 
without  final  accomplishment.  He  may  not

Butler  failed  to  take  Fort  Fisher,  and  men 
had  hardly  got  through  with  reasoning  upon  his

or  modifies  their  military  critiques.  This  suc- 
cess is  of  the  first  importance.  The  capture  of 
Fort  Fisher  does  not  mean  alone  the  taking  of 
75  guns  and  several  hundred  prisoners.  It  in- 
volves a  loss  to  the  rebels  of  their  principal  port, 
and  to  ns  whatever  gain  may  come  from  the  re- 
lease of  our  blockading  fleet  at  this  point.  But

General  S.'mitMAN  proposes  to  relieve  by  getting 
wood  by  way  of  the  Gulf  Railway  and  hauling  it 
to  the  citizens.  Eleven  hundred  loaves  of  good

But  the  most  important  of  Mr,  Murray's  state-

12,000  citizens  of  the  State,  to  be  offend  in  the  Reb- 
el Senate,  and  the  other,  signed  by  15,000  women, 
to  be  presented  to  Jeff  Davis.  The  former  Sen- 
ator Hill  was  requested  to  offer  in  the  Senate,  but 
declined  to  do  so.  This  petition  set  forth  the  hope-

The  match,  from  being  the  talk  of  tho  mess,  of

the  town,  and  soon  conjecture  and  scandal  were  at

"  ours" — Hetherston 

what  grounds  Heaven  only  knows — that  Bos  would 
pop  the  question  that  night.  The  lady  was  just  in 
that  tender  dreamy  state  which  betrays  the  awak- 
ened heart,  and  give3  the  lover  courage  to  take  the 
irrevocable  step.  The  bishop  looked  the  very  pat- 
tern of  a  fatherly  prelate,  and  had  a  mischievous, 
Liwv-'tU-ahoi>t'it  sort  of  twinkle  in  his  eyes,  as,  in 
pairing  off  his  guests  for  the  important  ceremony 
of  going  down  to  be  fed,  he  told  Hetherston  to  take 
"My  daughter."  It  was  my  luck  to  follow  the 
couple,  and  it  spoiled  my  dinner,  for  I  had  been  fool 
enough  to  take  the  odds  against  the  match,  and  it 
was  pretty  evident  I  should  lose. 

"  Take  you  a  hundred  to  ten  hell  do  it  to-night, " 
whispered  Harry  Fulton  as  we  streamed  down 
stairs,  the  happy  couple  being  directly  in  front  of 
vt,  and  looking  abominably  foolish,  as  is  the  man- 
ner of  people  at  such  a  crisis. 

"  Done,"  said  I,  involuntarily,  and  then  mentally 
cursed  my  folly. 

The  dinner  passed  off  as  such  dinnors  usually  do ; 
the  soup  was  bad,  fish  good,  joints  ditto,  all  the 
other  things  horrible,  saving  the  dessert,  which, 
being,  fresh  from  dame  Nature,  can  not  be  easily 
spoiled.  I  had  taken  down  a  ponderous  dame  be-

He  then  quietly  made  his  exit,  though  not  before 
I  caught  a  glimpse  of  his  face,  which,  in  spite  of 
powder  and  false  whiskers,  looked  uncommonly  like 
Vincent's,  and  made  me  hold  my  breath  in  anxiety 
to  see  the  result,  convinced  that  the  joke,  whatever 
it  was,  would  be  a  cleucher.     Nor  was  I  wrong;

Budden  business,  left  for  the  front;  and  ere  a  year

HAMPER'S  WEEKLY. 


[January  28.  18G5. 


NOW. 

Rise  !  for  the  day  is  passing, 

And  you  lie  dreaming  on ; 
The  others  have  buckled  their  armor, 

And  forth  to  the  fight  are  gone; 
A  place  in  the  ranks  awaits  you, 

Each  man  has  some  part  to  play; 
The  Past  and  the  Future  are  nothing 

In  the  face  of  the  stern  To-day. 
Rise  from  your  dreams  of  the  Future, 

(')t'  paining  some  hard-fought  field; 
Of  ,tnnning  some  aiiy  fortress, 

Or  bidding  some  giant  yield. 
Your  Future  has  deeds  of  glory, 

Of  honor  (God  grant  it  may!); 
But  your  arm  will  never  be  stronger, 

Or  the  need  so  great  as  To-day. 

Rise !    if  the  Past  detains  you, 
Her  sunshine  and  storms -forget; 

No  chains  so  unworthy  to  hold  you 
As  those  of  a  vain  regret; 

Sad  or  bright,  she  is  lifeless  forever, 
Cast  her  phantom  arms  away, 

Nor  look  back,  save  to  learn  the  lesson 
Of  a  nobler  strife  To-day. 

Rise!  for  the  day  is  passing; 

The  low  sound  that  you  scarcely  heat 

Is  the  enemy  marching  to  battle- 
Arise  !  for  the  foe  is  here ! 

Stay  not  to  sharpen  your  weapons, 
Or  the  hour  will  strike  at  last, 

"When,  from  dreams  of  a  coming  battle, 
You  may  wake  to  find  it  past ! 


THE  GHOSTS  OF  BOLDEN  TOWER. 

Since  I  had  been  a  young  fellow  of  fourteen 
years  of  age  my  life  had  been  almost  entirely  pass- 
ed at  sea.  I  had  been  long  accustomed  to  the  ice- 
bergs of  the  polar  seas,  or  the  burning  and  fervent 
glare  of  the  tropic  waters.  Since  I  left  home 
mighty  changes  had  taken  place.  I  had  never 
before  paid  a  visit  to  Bolden  Tower,  for  my  uncle 

much  as  he  disliked  society,  and  who  never  thought 
of  inviting  his  younger  relatives,  for  the  simple

"  I'll  tell  you  what  I'll  do,"  I  said.      "  I'll »

"Oh,  don't  be  so  foolish,  dear,"  said  Clara,  soiz-

Thifc  determination  had  the  desired  effect  upon 
the  party.  Therefore  it  was  finally  arranged  that 
I  should  sleep  in  the  haunted  chamber,  but  it  was 
ged  that  the    '

participate  my  fate,  and  sleep  in  the  room  with  me. 
My  sisters  would  insist  upon  this,  and  as  the  young 
fellow  in  question,  though  evidently  rather  scared, 
did  not  dare  to  disobey  when  Clara  spoke,  he  agreed

table  set  out  with  wine,  a  can  for  mulling  clan 


The  room  was  bare  and  commonplace;    there 

ere  two  small  beds  just  for  one  person  each,  situ- 
;ed  one  at  each  end  of  the  room,  the  window  being 
i  the  middle  of  the  room,  and  tbe  door  nearly  op- 
posite the  window.  There  were  no  ponderous  hang- 
ings, rich  cornices,  old  paintings  frowning  from  the

washed and  bare,  the  floor  oak,  the  chimney  had 
been  large,  but  was  bricked  up,  and  a  modern  grate 
lserted.    If  it  bad  not  been  for  the  fire  and  carpet, 


carcely  lay  down  than  I  fell  fast  asleep.  I  had

ion  whether  tbe  very  noise  did  not  really  lull  me

on bad  died  d 
parative  darkness.      The  wind  had  c 


again.  I  was  attracted  by  what  si 
otion  of  the  door.  I  stared  at  it 
ekeriug  light  of  tbe  fire  ?     No ;    tin 

quietly,  noiselessh  opening.    This  last  Cl 

il  a  sudden  feeling  of  fear  to  pass  over  me.    The 
was  a  heavy  one,   and  always   creaked  and 
ed  on  its  binges  whenever  the  Ensign,  or  I 
opened  or  shut  it.      It  was  now  opening  as  quietly 
and  noiselessly  as  if  gliding  oi  "

We  bad 
Who— what 

could  it  he?  At  that  moment  the  recollection  that 
in  tbe  haunted  chamber  passed  over  me,  and 
a  chill  strike  to  my  very  hones.  Slowly, 
quietly  the  door  opened  and  opened.  I  stared  at  it 
with  a  species  of  fascination  which  I  could  not  over- 


i  bed,  I  cou'id  see  that  he  had  raised 
was  also  staling  at  the  moving  doo; 
oor  had  half  opened  a  white  figure,  s 


image  through  which  I 
;  glided  in  t" 

more  terrible  than  a  perfect  figure — the  luminous 
imago  of  :•■  man,  wbiib  -aid  at  .-.nee.  ;>=.  plainly  a- 
form  can  speak,  I  AM  NOT  mortal.  The  face  was 
pale,  the  eyes  cold  dead-glazed.  Oh,  horror !  the 
eyes,  the  head  were  turned  toward  the  part  of  the 
room  in  which  I  slept.  Oh,  horror!  the  figure 
moved  toward   my  bed.     I  was  seized,  grappled, 

overcome.  I  could  not  move  or  cry — I  would  have 
given  worlds  to  have  leaped  from  my  bed  and  out 
of  the  window;  but  I  was  spell-bound,  paralyzed. 
Judge,  then,  of  my  unutterable  horror  when  the 
ghastly  figure  calmly,  quietlv,  glided  toward  the 
bed  on  which  I  lay.  It  came  nearer,  nearer;  its 
cold,  glassy  eyes  were  fixed  upon  my  face,  the  chill 
breath  of  its  presence  struck  to  my  very  bones — it 
came  quite  close  to  my  pillow  :  my  very  blood  cur- 
dled, my  heart  almost  ceased  to  beat.  Crowning 
horror  of  all,  its  shadowy  hand  passed  over  the  bed, 
as  if  feeling  for  something— passed  over  my  brow 
with  the  cold,  clammy  touch  of  a  corpse.  In  my 
intense  fear  my  reason  was  surely  leaving  me. 
Once— twice— thrice  the  spectre  hand  passed  over 
tbe  bed,  and  then,  turning,  the  figure  passed  swift- 


saw  another  ngoiro,  spectral  ■■ 
the  other,  luminous  like  the  otuer;  out  mis  ngi 
was  the  figure  of  a  young,  slight  girl,  array 
seemingly,  in  her  night-dress.  I  could  notice  e\ 
then,  in  spite  of  my  deadly  terror,  the  wondrt 
beauty  of  her  pallid  face:  nay,  I  could  also  not 
a  something  in  that  face  which  spoke  of  Violet  H

When  I  recovered  sufficiently  to  be  informed  how 
I  got  there,  I  was  told  that  Tom  had  heard  the  re- 
port of  the  pistol  which  the  Ensign,  with  more  pres- 
ence of  mind  than  I  possessed,  had  fired  at  the  spec- 
tres, and  had  jumped  .ait  of  bed,  knowing  that  some- 
thing must  be  wrong,  had  compelled  a  terrified  foot- 
man to  accompany  him  to  our  chamber,  and  on  ar- 
riving there  had  found  door  and  window  open,  thi 
Ensign  sitting  upright  in  his  bed  trembling  like  ai 
aspen  leaf,  and  myself  lying  senseless. 

I  swallowed  draught  after  draught  of  hot  brandy 
and-wnter,  which  seemed  scarcely  to  have  any  effect 
upon  my  shaken  system.      Everj'  now  and  then 
memory  of  what  I  endured  passed  across  me,  and 
shook  in  every  limb,  aud  my  teeth  chattered  in  my 

e,  r.ipr-'.l  np  in  blankets,  and  set  in  an  arm- 


S  visitors  knew  nothing  of 
1  happened  till  they  assembled  round  the 
.-table  ;  but  before"  a  word  was  said  the 


haggard  faces  of  the  Ensign  and  myself  had  t 


id  over  niy  face.  A  chill 
circle  as  they  listened  to 
'        '  daylight, 


.nation,  and  although 

mam    glanced  f.-arinllv  about  them,  as  if 
ghost  in  their  neighbors.

which  had  lasted  for  many  g

Laughter  or  tears,  in  our  wrinkling  eyes, 
Aches  and  pains  in  our  stiffening  knees, 
We  care  now  only  for  rest  and  ease ; 
Friends  have  gone  to  the  distant  zones, 
Yet  we're  still  pattering  over  the  stones. 

Youth— ha!  many  are  gone  since  then, 
Past  and  forgotten  by  angels  and  men, 
Melted  to  gases,  pale  and  thin, 
With  their  follies  and  faults,  and  virtue  and 
Yet  still  in  our  ears  sound  their  friendly  to

a  clean  breast  of  it,  and  confess  to  the  burnt  cork 
on  my  bended  knees  ?  And  what  did  you  say  to 
me,  Maria  ?  Didn't  you  take  me  by  the  'and  and 
say,  '  Rise,  Joseph,  rise  ;  it  does  not  become  you  to 
kneel  thus  to  a  fragile  woman?  Love,'  you  says, 
'  is  superior  to  a  little  sut,  and  I'd  love  you  all  the 
same  if  you  was  the  Hottentot  Wenus.' " 

Yes,  Sir,  I  was  candid  with  Maria,  and  I  was 
candid  with  her  family,  which  had  been  in  the  iron- 
mongery line  and  seen  better  days,  but  -was  now  re- 
duced through  misfortunes.  It  is  true  that  Maria's 
ma  kept  a  mangle,  presented  to  her  by  subscription 


"Joseph,"  says  he,  "things  has  been  said,  but 
not  by  me.  Mind,  it  wasn't  me  as  said  Maria  was 
going  to  marry  beneath  her.  There's  no  pride  about 
me ;  but  the  old  woman,  you  know,  was  connected 
with  the  aristocracy,  and,  though  brought  down, 
Joseph,  her  notions  are  high.  She  didn't  quite  like 
it  at  first,  and  might  have  said  something.  But 
don't  you  take  any  notice,  she'll  be  reconciled  to  it 

So  she  was,  Sir;  for  the  very  next  Sunday  the 
old  lady  invited  me  and  Maria  to  tea,  and  we  took 
our  own  tea  and  sugar,  and  a  new  cottage  loaf, 
and  warmed  .the  old  lady  up  with  a  glass  of  gin,  and 
So  you  can't  say 


Sir?  It  was  all  fair  and  square;  Maria  knew  what 
I  was,  and  the  family  knew  what  I  was,  and  they 
took  me  for  what  I  was. 

Maria  could  not  deny  it;  yet, often  when  I  went 
home  late  she'd  go  into  high  strikes,  fly  at  me  like  a 
cat  and  tear  my  clothes  off  my  back,  get  hold  of  the 
tails  of  my  coat — them  long  comic  tails  as  we  wear, 
Sir— and  off  they'd  come  like  tinder;  then  she'd

didn't.     Once  it  was  a  bit  of  boiled  pork  and  pease

But  if  you  tread  upon  a  worm,  Sir,  it  will  turn,  es- 
pecially if  you  interfere  with  it  in  business,  and 
humiliate  it  before  the  public  at  large.  And  that's 
what  Maria  did  more  than  once.  There's  a  good  bit 
of  money  to  be  picked  up  in  the  season  at  the  water- 
ing-places.   But  I  never  could  go ;  Maria  wouldn't 

"Ifyou  go,  Joseph,"  she  used  to  say,  "/go." 
WYIt,  of  .-our--',  1  ronMu'l  drag  Maria  about  with 
me  over  the  country ;  it  would  have  been  double 
expense,  andhartists  in  our  line  don't  always  find  it 
easy  to  get  lodgings.  Ours,  Sir,  is  an  awkward 
pocket  to  suit  as  regards  rent.  And  being  profes- 
sionals we  like  to  keep  ourselves  quiet  when  we  re- 
characters  like  us  to  go  to  the  Metropolitan. 
Well,  the  consequence 
and  I  was  lef 


on  a  stroll,  and  was  returning  home,  thinking — 
as  I  generally  do  when  I'm  in  bad  luck — that  I 
might  possibly  find  a  purse  or  a  bundle  of  notes 
lying  in  the  road.  Well,  Sir,  just  as  I  was  turn- 
ing a  street  corner  I  saw  something  white  lying 
My  heart  was  in  my  mouth.

lace  all  round  it.  I  am  no  judge  of  lace  myself, 
but  I  thought  that  it  was  likely  to  be  the  real 

thing.  So  I  put  the  handkerchei  in  on  p.vk.-t  and 
said  nothing  to  nobody.  I  intended  to  give  it  to 
Maria  when  I  got  home ;  but  she  had  a  little  bit  of 
supper  ready,  and  was  so  pleasant  and  agreeable 
that  I  quite  forgot  all  about  it.  I  went  to  bed

"  How  do  you  look,  Joseph,  when  you're  telling 

"What  do  you  mean?"  I  said. 
"  I'll  tell  you  what  1  mean, "  she  said.      "  Some

It  cut  me  to  the  quick  to  be  called  a  name  like 
that,  and  me  innocent  as  an  unborn  babe.  But 
nothing  would  pacify  her.  She  worked  herself  up 
into  high  strikes  in  no  time.  Thinking  that  she 
would  soon  cry  and  kick  herself  out,  I  lay  quiet 
and  never  said  a  word.  But  that  wouldn't  do. 
She  got  up  in  a  fury,  threw  my  wig  into  the  fire  as 
usual,  stamped  upon  my  serenading  hat,  and  then 
pulled  all  the  clothes  off  me.  She  went  on  like  a 
mad  woman,  Sir,  and  roused  the  whole  house. 

"  I'll  go  home  to  my  parents,"  she  said. 

"Don't  be  foolish,"  1  said.  "You  know  your 
ma  is  out  a  washing,  and  the  poor-house  is  shut 
long  ago ;  they  won't  let  you  see  the  old  gentleman

Now  she  had  never  said  that  to  me  before-;  but 
and  that  she  had  been  thinking  of  it  for  years. 

"Oh,  Maria!"  I  said.  "I  never  thought  that 
you  would  have  thrown  that  up  in  my  face.  If 
you  do  come  of  a  high  family,"  I  said,  "love's  a

and  just  as  I  was  cutting  a  paper  collar,  she  rises, 
and  draws  herself  up  to  her  full  height,  and  says : 

"Joseph,"  she  says,  "  I'll  never  live  under  the 

same  roof  with  you  no  more.     I'll  have  a  divorce." 

"Very  well,"  I  says;    "if  that's  your  temper

Arter  that  happiness,  Sir,  was  restored  to  my 
mestic  hearth;  only  I  couldn't  help  thinking  t 
things  was  a  deal  too  pleasant  to  last.     Maria 


she  was  a  singing  of  them  every  day,  and  beautiful 
she  sang  them  too;  especially  Lucy  iNeal  and  the

woman  in  the  shoe-binding  line,  and  asked  if  she 
knew  where  my  missus  was?  "All  right,"  she 
says ;  "  she'll  be  with  you  directly." 

about  five  minutes  the  door  opened  and  somebody 
came  in.  I  looked  round  and  saw  before  me — what 
do  you  think,  Sir?  A  tall  woman  dressed  in  a 
short  red  petticoat,  with  a  turban  on  her  head,  and

"Will  that  suit?"  she  says. 

"Whv,  Maria,"  I  said  to  her  quite  serious,  "what 
does  this  mean?" 

"Well,"  she  says,  "it  means,  Joseph,  that  I

General  Botler's  Report  and  a  portioD  of

this  general  conjecture,  it  is  certain  that  in  this  par- 
ticular instance  of  the  Wilmington  Expedition  he 
lulled  to  ilu  \v\i->J  w:i>  expected  of  him. 

In  the  first  place,  it  was  expected  that  General 
"Weitzel  should  command  the  expedition ;  the 
command  was  expressly  assigned  to  him.  Bdtler 
took  the  command  upon  himself.  In  the  second 
place,  Butler  was  behind  time  in  getting  prepared. 
As  early  as  November  30,  Grant  wrote  to  Butler 
that  Bragg  had  taken  most  of  the  forces  defending 
Wilmington  into  Georgia  to  oppose  Sherman.

But  Bdtler  seems  to

General  Grant,  after  Butler's  failure,  organized 

Terry,  which,  in  co-operation  with  Porter's  fleet, 
has  taken  the  fort.  The  attack  this  time  proceeded 
under  more  favorable  auspices.  The  land  force  was 
larger,  and  no  warning  was  given  to  the  rebels  by 
weeks  of  delay.  After  the  landing  of  the  expedi- 
tion a  careful  reconuoissance  was  made,  and  it  was 
decided  to  risk  an  assault,  which  was  made  at  3.30 
p.m.  on  the  15th.  After  sbt  hours'  severe  lighting 
the  fort  was  captured,  with  over  a  thousand  prison- 
ers and  from  40  to  70  guns.  Our  loss  is  stated  at  500.

THE"  HOWLETT  HOUSE  BATTERY. 

The  Howlett  House  Battery  is  situated  on  the 
south  bank  of  the  James  River,  forming  the  ex- 
treme left  of  the  rebel  works  covering  the  approach- 
es to  Petersburg.  This  battery  commanded  the 
hend  of  the  river  around  Farrar's  Island,  which  an 
attempt  has  been  made  to  cut  oif  by  the  Dutch  Gap 
Canal.  The  river  at  this  point  was  obstructed,  and 
our  Monitors,  in  ascending,  had  to  encounter  these 
obstructions  and  the  fire  from  the  Howlett  House 
Battery  at  the  same  time.  If  the  canal  should  prove

THE  CAPTURE  OF  FORT  FISHER. 

After  the  failure  of  the  first  attempt  against 
Fort  Fisher  in  December,  the  fleet  returned  to  Beau- 
Secretary  of  the  Navy.  Admiral  Porter  still  re- 
mained confident  that  a  persistent  effort  to  capture 

prisoners  indicated  that  in  case  an  assault  hud  been 
ventured  by  General  Butler  it  would  have  been 
■crowned  with  success.  How  far  Lieutcnant-Gen- 
eral  Grant  coincided  with  this  opinion  we  do  not 
know.  But  he  was  so  far  dissatisfied  with  Bct- 
ler's  conduct  of  the  expedition  that  at  his  sugges- 
tion that  officer  was  removed.  General  Grant  cer- 
tainly believed  that  i!"  the  fort  could  not  be  taken  by

nary  11.  No  warning  was  given  to  the  enemy  by 
delay,  and  the  weather  favored  a  prompt  move- 
ment. The  fleet  arrived  off  Federal  Point  on  the 
morning  of  the  13th,  and  the  troops  were  landed 
with  twelve  days'  provisions  in  the  afternoon.  The 
naval  engagement  commenced  at  7.30  a.m.  Ad-

miral Porter,  "the  fort  was  reduced  to  a  "pulp." 
During  the  day  a  careful  rcconnoissance  was  made 
by  General  Terry,  who  determined  to  risk  an  as- 
sault on  the  following  day. 

On  the  15th,  arrangements  having  been  made  be- 
tuce  )  flu'  iiavnl  ami  milikm  commanders  lor  the 
proposed  assault,  all  the  vessels  of  the  fleet  united 
in  a  heavy  fire,  which  was  kept  up  until  3  o'clock 
r.M.  This  was  the  time  fixed  upon  for  the  assault. 
Terry  had  placed  Paine's  Division  of  colored  sol- 
diers along  the  line  facingWilmington,  while  Ames's 
Division,  supported  by  fourteen  hundred  marines, 
advanced  to  tho  assault.  The  naval  brigade  was 
under  the  command  of  Commander  K.  R.  Breese. 
Lieutenant  Cashing  was  one  of  the  company  com- 
manders. This  column  advanced  against  the  sea- 
ward front  of  the  fort  on  the  left.     During  the  past

two  thousand,  appeared  on  the  parapet.  This  was 
evidently  thought  by  the  rebels  to  be  the  main  col- 
umn of  the  assault,  and  the  whole  available  force 
of  the  fort  was  turned  against  them.  Before  this 
(ire  the  troops  began  at  length  to  waver.  The  men 
fell  thick  and  fast,  some  of  them  being  rolled  by 
the  surf  into  the  water.  Here  the  brave  Lieuten- 
ants Preston  and  Porter  fell.  This  column  was 
repulsed  amidst  the  cheers  of  the  rebel  garrison. 
This  repulse  was  owing  to  a  lack  of  organization' 
among  the  marines.  It  was  intended  that  the  party

HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


Saturday,  February  4,  1865. 


AS  General  Sherman  enters  upon  his  new 
campaign  the  enemy  in  the  region  toward 
which  he  will  probably  advance  begins  the 
same  cry  that  it  did  in  Georgia.  "When  he 
moved  out  of  Atlanta  he  was  saluted  in  two 
hostile  keys,  one  of  rage,  the  other  of  ridicule. 
The  horrible  things  that  he  meant  to  do,  the 
hopeless  slavery  to  which  the  people  were  to  he 
subjected,  the  desolation  which  was  to  blight  the 
country,  these  were  made  the  spurs  to  frantic 
appeals  to  hem  him  in,  to  hunt  him  down,  and 
destroy  the  savage  and  his  hosts.  Ou  the  other 
hand,  he  was  a  cornered  fox  obliged  to  run  into 
a  trap.  The  hopelessness  of  his  undertaking 
showed  his  desperate  condition.  His  march  was 
an  ignominious  retreat  which  must  end  in  his 
ih'struouuii,  etc.,  etc. 

Somehow  he  arrived  comfortably  and  sat 
down  in  Savannah  after  an  agreeable  journey. 
He  came  neither  like  Alario  nor  Timodr  the 
Tartar,  but  as  the  firm  supporter  and  restorer 
of  an  equal  and  benign  Government,  against 
which  those  who  were  anxious  that  others  should 
rebelled.  There 
an  army  through 
so  hostile  a  country  that  devastated  so  little  and 
was  so  little  molested.  After  resting  at  Savan- 
nah, the  invincible  General  now  turns  his  face 
northward,  and  the  cry  that  greeted  him  before 
ajam  liruaks  forth. 

Here  is  a  specimen  of  the  frenzied  effort  to 
excite  the  South  Carolinians  against  him.  It  is 
a  letter  written  to  a  Charleston  newspaper,  from 
Pocotaligo,  just  before  Sherman  occupied  it : 


kind  of  talk  is  not 
intended  to  affect.  "When  Sherman  marched 
from  Atlanta  the  people  of  Georgia  were  sum- 
moned to  take  shot-guns  and  assemble  for  "a 
grand  hunt."     They  """

erned?  Are  they  the  citizens  of  any  State  or 
section,  of  any  county  or  city  ?  Obviously  not ; 
they  are  the  whole  people  of  the  country.  No 
part  of  the  population  has  any  more  right  to 
call  itself  the  people  and  claim  the  privileges 
of  the  people  than  the  tailors  of  Tooley  Street 
had  to  call  themselves  the  people  of  England. 

The  Government  of  the  United  States  exists 
by  the  consent  of  the  people  of  the  United  States. 
It  is  the  same  people  which  spoke  of  itself  in 
the  Declaration  of  Independence  in  saying, 
"When  in  the  course  of  human  events  it  be- 
comes necessary  for  one  people  to  dissolve  the 
political  bonds,"  etc.  This  people  is  the  united 
population  of  all  the  States ;  and  those  of  them 
who  live  in  the  State  of  Maine  or  in  all  the  New 
England  States  combined,  or  in  Ohio  or  all  the 
Western  States,  or  in  Maryland  or  the  Middle 
States,  or  in  the  Carolinas  or  tho  Southern 
States,  can  not  assume  to  speak  for  the  people 
of  which  they  are  a  small  portion.  The  Con- 
stitution provides  for  any  necessary  expression 
of  the  popular  will,  and  by  referring  the  govern- 
ment every  two  years  to  the  people  provides,  if 
its  guarantees  are  observed,  against  the  neces-

_f  peaceful  redress.  If  you  will  give  us  our 
share  in  the  government,  well ;  if  not,  we  shall 
ke  it  by  force  if  we  can."  The  slaves  were 
e  only  people  in  the  country  who  could  justly 
e  this  language.  But  how  could  a  body  of 
is  living  in  the  Southern  States, 

j  the  same  privileges  as  all  oth- 

i,  and  who  had  held  possession  of  the  Govern- 


mug, 

they  had  taken  part,  and 

laws,  under  the  pretense  th 

ly  exist  by  the  consent  of  the  governed? 

Our  enemies  in  England  are  very  fond  of  this 
argument ;  but  if  the  supporters  of  the  Chicago 
platform  and  candidates  at  the  late  election 
should  declan 

result,  refuse  their  consent  ■ 
election,  and 
the  ground  tl 
sent  of  the  governed,  would  our  English  cavilers 
say  that  upon  our  own  principles  we  could  not 
complain  ?     Such  objectors  will  agree  that  there 


st  eligible  op- 
Why  ?     Be- 


as  we  have  quoted.  They  knew  that  Sher- 
man's motto  was  not  "Booty  and  beauty." 
They  knew  he  and  bis  men  were  not  thieves  and 
robbers ;  and  "youth  and  age"  had  no  stomach 
for  useless  slaughter.  They  knew  that  Sher- 
man's hand  was  stronger  than  theirs.  They 
would  not  have  their  city  battered  down  about 
their  ears.  Tliey  differed  from  Jeff  Davis, 
and  preferred  Yankees  to  hyenas.  So  Savnnnah 
surrendered.  "Amen !"  sighed  the  papers  that 
had  urged  the  hunt,  "it  is  a  blessing  in  dis- 
guise." 

There  is  no  reason  to  suppose  that  Shkkman's 
task  will  be  more  difficult  in  Carolina  than  in 
Georgia,  except  from  the  greater  number  of  vet- 
eran troops  which  will  possibly  b(

in  Georgia ;  and  as  h

Sherman  is  a  blessing  who  disguises  himself 
so  impenetrably  that  the  rebels  are  in  the  most 
delightful  doubt  at  what  precise  point  the

ally expressed,  which  is  the  basis  of  the  govern- 
ment of  this  country.  The  city  of  New  York 
may,  without  an  opposing  voice,  resolve  to  dis- 
obey the  laws  of  the  country,  but  the  result  will 
merely  be  that  the  city  will  conquer  the

The  inhabitants  of 


PEACE-MAKING. 

Mr.  Francis  P.  Blair  has  been  for  a  few 

weeks  a  very  conspicuous  personage.    His  move-

try,  and  his  name  has  been  persistently  asso- 
peace.  If  he  can  give  us  peace  by 
the  rebels  to  lay  down  their  arms 
and  submit  to  the  Government,  his  name  will 
be  sweet  forever  in  the  memory  of  a  grateful 
people.  Any  thing  else  that  he  may  do  is  en- 
tirely unimportant  in  itself,  but  greatly  to  be  de- 
plored as  exciting  foolish  hopes  and  filling  the 
popular  car  with  wind.

Mr.  Blair  should  fail  to  effect  i 
pacification,  which  it  said  it  did  not  much  ex 
pect,  "  he  will  yet  have  done  his  country  a  sig 
nal  service  by  assuring  the  South  that  our  Gov 
ernment  is  not  vindictive,  and  does  not  insist  oi 
an  unconditional  surrender,  but  is  ready  and  eager 
to  co-operate  in  the  restoration  of  an  honorable 


rebels.  In  other  words,  when  citizens, 
pleased  with  tho  result  of  an  election,  tal 
aims,  they  are  to  understand  that  the  Go 
incut  will  yield.    They  n     ' 


The  Tribune,  in  the  words  we  quote,  substantial- 
ly says  that,  if  Mr.  Blair  can  persuade  the 
South  that  the  Government  will  concede  the 
success  of  the  rebellion,  he  will  have  done  his 
country  a  signal  service.  But  how  can  he 
serve  his  country  by  announcing  a  premium 
upon  rebellion  ? 

The  pernicious  folly  of  such  talk  is  beyond 
calculation.  The  Government  does  insist  on  an 
unconditional  surrender.  That  was  the  exact 
issue  before  the  people  in  the  late  election. 
There  was  to  be  no  compromising,  no  com- 

boughs,  but  the  authority  of  the  Government 
was  to  be  unconditionally  maintained.  The 
whole  country  understood  it.  The  rebels  un- 
derstood it.  The  world  understood  it.  And, 
accordingly,  in  his  Message  to  Congress,  a  month 
after  the  country  had  almost  unanimously  de- 


thority  under  the  Constitution."  By  what  au- 
thority does  the  Tribune  immediately  say  that 
the  Government  does  not  insist  on  an  uncon- 
ditional surrender? 

The  question  of  the  conditions  of  peace  is 
perfectly  simple.  There  is  no  need  of  suppos- 
ing or  of  arguing  that  any  thing  is  to  be  ac- 
complished by  mysterious  missions.  There  is 
nothing  to  be  concealed.  The  Government  can 
have  nothing  to  say  to  any  rebel  that  it  hns  not 
already  said  to  the  country;  and  if  it  should 
have,  it  can  not  say  it  so  effectively  as  by  de- 
claring it  publicly  and  by  an  authorized  min- 
ister. As  for  humanity  and  fraternity,  they  are 
both  most  truly  served  by  a  quiet  insistence 

mane  and  fraternal  and  permanent  peace ;  while 
those  who  think  that  we  do  not  show  a  dispo- 
sition for  peace  unless  we  constantly  ask  Jef- 
ferson Davis  whether  he  will  give  it  up,  are 
those  who  really  think  the  Government  ought 
not  to  make  war.  Nor  need  we  indulge  a  vi- 
sionary hope  of  widening  any  breach  among  the 
leading  rebels.  How  can  that  be  done  by  nny 
man  who  merely  repeats  what  the  leading  reb- 
els already  know  ?  and  if  any  body  says  more 
than  that  he  takes  a  different  ground  from  that 
of  the  President  in  his  Message. 

One  thing  is  indisputable;  if  any  agent  or 
private  visitor  to  Richmond  tells  nny  rebel  that- 
the  Government  of  the  United  States  does  not 
insist  upon  an  unconditional  surrender,  he  does 
all  he  can  to  disgrace  his  country  and  to  pro- 
long the  war. 


"NATIONAL"  OR  "FEDERAL." 
In  civil  war  words  are  things.     This  war  of 

with  national  sovereignty  and  powers;  or  mere- 
ly a  league,  covenant,  or  federation  of  separate 
sovereign  States.  To  every  loyal  man  this  prop- 
osition has  very  much  the  air  of  a  truism.  But 
there  is  a  curious  and  frequent  heedlessness  of 
its  truth  in  practice.  Many  of  our  officers  and 
orators  and  editors  constantly  speak  of  the  Gov- 
ernment as  the  Federal  Government,  and  the 
army  and  navy  as  the  Federal  army  and  navy. 
The  national  cause  itself  is  often  described  as 
the  Federal  cause. 

Now  a  federation  and  a  confederation  are  his- 
torically very  much  the  same  thing.  The  states 
of  Greece  were  leagued,  or  federated,  or  confed- 
erated, like  the  German  monarchies  and  the 
Dutch  provinces.  The  terms  of  federation  were 
different,  but  the  federative  principle  in  history 
is  the  union  of  separate  sovereignties  for  com- 
mon safety.  The  absolute  sovereignty  of  the 
state  remained,  except  so  far  as  it  was  expressly 
limited — as  in  the  old  Dutch  republic,  where  any 
one  of  the  federated  provinces  could  not  make 
an  alliance  without  the  consent  of  all  the  others. 

But  the  precise  difference  between  the  action 
of  States  surrendering  their  separate  sovereignty 
to  form  a  nation  and  that  of  sovereign  States 
uniting  in  a  federation,  or  confederacy,  is  fully 
illustrated  in  the  comparison  of  the  preamble  of 
the  United  States  Constitution  and  that  of  the 
Eebel  Constitution.  The  first  establishes  a 
Union  such  as  history  had  not  recorded,  and 
which  is  a  nation.  The  other  aims  to  found  a 
Federation,  or  Confederacy.  Thus  in  our  Con- 
used  the  prospective  existence  of  a  nation  is  as- 
sumed, which  even  in  the  fundamental  act  of 
its  creation  speaks  in  its  national  character — 
"  We,  the  People  of  the  United  States,  in  order 

ordain  and  establish  this  Constitution  for  the 
United  States  of  America." 

On  the  other  hand,  the  rebels— who  repudiate 
the  national  existence,  and  assert  that  the  Union 
is  only  a  League,  or  Confederacy,  or  Federation 
—involuntarily  abandon  their  interpetation  of 
the  Constitution  in  forming  their  League.  For 
if  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  is  evi- 
dently merely  a  federative  bond  between  sover- 
eign States,  why  change  the  phraseology  in 
forming  a  similar  bond  for  some  of  the  same 
States  ?  The  rebel  argument  is  weakened  by  the 
change,  for  it  seems  to  show  not  only  a  doubt, 
but  a  tolerably  strong  conviction,  that  their  in- 
terpretation is  wrong.  Thus  in  the  Montgom- 
ery Constitution  of  the  so-called  "Confederate 
States  of  America"  the  preamble  reads:  "We,

HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


:  people  of  the  Confederate  States,  each  State 
ing  in  its  sovereign  and  independent  charac- 
,  in  order  to  form  a  permanent  federal  gov- 
,ment,"  etc.,  etc.,  "do  ordain  and  establish 

:  the  Confederate  States  of 


ereign  States,  or  federation.  Ours  is  the  act  of 
people  residing  in  several  States  creating  a  na- 
tion. Now  the  war  justifies  itself,  in  the  rebel 
mind,  upon  the  ground  that  the  Union  is  not  a 
nation,  but  a  federation;  and  the  deplorably 
confused  condition  of  public  sentiment  at  the 
time  the  secession  movement  began  was  greatly 
owing  to  the  loose  way  in  which  this  nation  had 
been  called  a  federation  or  a  confederacy.  If 
it  were  only  that,  there  might  be  some  question 
as  to  the  power  of  the  Federal  or  Confederated 
Government.  If  it  had,  on  the  other  hand, 
always  been  our  care  to  speak  of  ourselves  as  a 
nation,  and  we  had  properly  regarded  the  powers 
of  the  Government  as  national  and  supreme,  we 
should  have  escaped  much  of  that  panic  of  won- 
der and  hesitation  during  which  the  national 
Government  might  easily  have  been  overthrown. 
The  difference  between  nation  and  confedera- 
cy is  vital.  If  we  had  been  a  federation,  un- 
doubtedly Mr.  Pendleton  and  his  peace  party 
are  correct  in  saying  that  it  is  neither  lawful  nor 
desirable  to  resist  secession  by  force.  In  that 
case,  also,  the  word  federal  properly  describes 
the  Government,  and  therefore  it  is  used  by  the 
rebel  organ  in  the  city  of  New  York,  and  by  all 
our  foreign  enemies.  But  why  should  generals 
who  are  fighting  for  the  nation  against  a  Con- 
federacy to  be  created  from  a  part  of  the  frag- 
ments of  the  nation,  and  orators  who  are  plead- 
ing for  it,  and  editors  who  are  writing  for  it, 
persist  in  using  a  word  which  merely  expresses 
the  rebel  theory  of  om*  Government,  and  is  in 
itself  a  partial  palliation  of  their  conduct  ?  As 
we  are  not  a  confederated  group

THE  SOLDIERS'  REST. 
Evert  traveler  by  the-  New  York  and  New 
Haven  Railroad  has  had  occasion  to  observe 
the  total  want  of  a  Soldiers'  Rest,  or  comforta- 
ble quarters  for  the  soldiers  constantly  going 
and  coming  by  that  route,  where  they  can  have 
a  pleasant  shelter  and  simple  refreshment.  Es- 
pecially now  when  \\\<  i\iilfo:-;.l>  <-:-^n\  u<  do  i'ivii  ■. 

seldom  made,  there  are  many  soldiers  daily  ar- 
riving from  the  East  and  going  to  Washington, 
who  frequently  find  themselves  with  four  or  five 
hours  on  their  hands ;  or  coming  from  Wash- 
ington, homeward  bound,  ill  perhaps,  or  wound- 

ih--o  thoreisnokind 

;  devoted 
poses,  and 


The  subject  has  enlisted  the  sympathy  of 
many  who  always  bear  the  soldiers  in  mind, 
and  two  or  three  weeks  since  the  project  of 
founding  such  a  Rest  was  discussed  among  sev- 
eral gentlemen,  who  instantly  subscribed  several 
hundreds  of  dollars;  and  George  Bliss,  Jun., 
45  William  Street,  temporarily  took  charge  of 
the  subscriptions  and  publicly  invited  more. 
He  has  engaged  the  only  suitable  place  near  the 
station  of  the  New  Haven  Road ;  and  it  is  hoped

outdoorishness  of  summer  and  the  permanent  adop-

advancing,  leaving  desolation  in  their  track :  a

OUR  "LIDDY  LIZER." 

She  was  christened  Lydia  Eliza,  I  believe,  but  it 

couldn't  be  expected  that  human  beings  could  take 
the  trouble  of  pronouncing  those  two  hard  names  a 
hundred  times  a  day ;  and  the  natural  consequence 
was  that  she  was  always  called  Liddy  Lizer,  and 
always  called  herself  so ;  and  the  fact  ought  to  be  a 
warning  to  all  poor  people  not  to  take  airs  when 
they  name  their  children.     As  for  Liddy  Lizer  her-

bring  her  up  a  lady. 

As  for  Liddy  Lizer,  you  heard  her  name  all  over 
the  house  a  hundred  times  a.day.  I  wanted  her, 
cook  wanted  her,  Araminta  wanted  her,  and  every 
boarder  in  turn  needed  Liddy  Lizer.  When  she 
found  time  to  grow  I  don't  know,  but  grow  she  did. 
I  knew  that  by  her  tow  aprons.  She  was  a  head 
taller  than  Araminta  by  the  time  she  was  Bixteen ; 
and,  to  own  tho  truth,  she  looked  like  a  young  lady 
when  she  wore  her  pink  print  to  church  on  Sunday. 

That  Christmas  I  had  a  new  boarder— a  very  rich 


ly,  which  the  boarders  didn't  all  do.     I  wondered 
he  was  a  bachelor. 

I  looked  at  my  Araminta,  dressed  in  Bcarlet  and 
black,  with  her  hair  braided  at  the  back  and  fast- 
ened with  gold  combs.  The  girl  bad  a  bewitching 
way,  like  her  mother's  when  she  was  young;  but 
I  lay  awake  dreaming,  though  my  eyes  were  wide 
open,  all  night  of  being  mother-in-law  to  Mr.  Ash- 
ton.    Yes ;  the  truth  was,  I  had  made  up  my  mind 


And  that  is  the  way  Liddy  Lizer  was  pressed  into 
service,  and  put  on  her  pink  calico,  and  sat  up  in 
tha  back-parlor  stitching  all  day  ;  for  she  was  handy 
with  her  needle,  and  Araminta  detested  sewing. 

Matters  began  finely;  for,  as  Araminta  told  me, 
while  they  were  sewing  Mr.  Ashton  tapped  at  the

a  bench  at  her  feet. 

The  boldness  of  that  Liddy  Lizer  I  vow  I  never 
half  knew  what  it  was  until  about  flower-planting 
time.  I  went  unexpectedly  into  the  garden,  and 
saw  the  girl,  with  seeds  and  roots  in  her  hands,  talk-

frightful.  Liddy  Lizer  was  past  seventeen  now, 
absolutely  refused  to  wear  aprons  at  all,  and  would 
put  her  hair  back  with  combs  and  let  it  grow.  She 
was  handy,  too,  and  made  herself  look  altogether 
too  fixy  for  a  hired  girl.  Just  then,  too,  she  start- 
ed up  to  go  to  Sunday  evening  meetings;  and  what

At  last  one  night— a  Sunday  in  the  first  of  May— 
Araminta  said,  "  I  am  going  to  find  out  what  Mr. 
Ashton  does  with  him-cll" i;n  --.' 

Well,  the  child  came  home  at  half  past  nine  pale

"Is  that  all?"  I  asked.

sat  in  the  middle  aisle,  and  I  went  into  the  gallery ;

TWO  WAYS  OF  US! 

The  little  village  of  Stoke-Regis,  which  lies  hid- 
den in  a  gap  of  the  Downshire  hills,  was  always  cele- 
brated for  its  strong  men.  There  was  a  tradition, 
as  firmly  rooted  in  the  place  as  the  old  Norman 
church,  or  the  fragments  of  a  Druid's  circle,  which 
stood  like  a  ring  of  old  jagged  teeth  on  the  top  of 
the  highest  hill,  that  Stoke-Regis  had  bred  many 
famous  giants.  The  names  of  many  heroes  of  this 
kind  recorded  in  old  story-hooks  were  claimed  as 
Stoke-Regis  or  Downshire  names,  and  many  fa-

ig,  he  had  it  trained  for  the  race-course,  and  if 
,•  man  on  his  estate  looked  promising,  he  had  him 
inedas  a  prize-lighter.  He  kept  bull-dogs,  game- 
ks.  and  other  animals  to  vary  his  sports;  but  he

"  Foight  any  mon  in  thick  there  mead,"  replied 
Tom,  pointing  to  a  closely  cropped  meadow,  "if 
you'll  gi'  I  wages  for  day's  work." 

The  bargain  was  struck,  and  the  squire  looked 
about  for  a  strong  Stoke-Regis  man.  He  soon  found 
one  in  the  person  of  Harry  Wold,  a  man  about  Tom 
Dibble's  age,  height,  and  strength,  who  was  also  in 
his  employment.  Both  men  were  put  into  fair  train- 
ing by  the  squire,  who  paid  all  the  expenses,  and

the  Stoke-Regis  man— Harry  Wold — heavily  on  his 
back— so  heavily  that  be  could  never  have  risen 
without  assistance.  His  spine  was  injured,  so  the 
doctor  in  attendance  said;  and  the  crowd  were  die- 
appointed  of  half  their  sport— the  fight  that  was  to 
follow  the  wrestling-match.  The  squire— a  man  as 
coarse  as  his  peasants— took  no  pains  to  conceal  his 
vexation. 

Tom  Dibbles  after  this  victory  became  the  hero 
of  Stoke-Brewin.  Stoke-Brewin  was  an  exact  coun- 
ter part  of  Stoke-Regis,  and  Squire  Southern's  prop-

schoolmaster,  recording  the  victory'.  The  trifling

Young  Tom  Dibbles,  as  he  grew  older,  became 
less  and  less  of  their  way  of  thinking,  and  more  de- 
termined to  use  his  strength  for  the  real  benefit  of 
his  village.  While  they  abused  the  gift  a  that  God 
had  given  them — that  natural  health  and  physical 
power,  which  wealth  can  not  always  purchase — he

and  young  Tom  Dibbles  had  long  been  friends,  and 

young  one.  Tom  had  to  work  hard  for  his  living, 
as  the  Downshire  wages  were  not  high,  but  still  he 
found  time  to  help  the  old  man.  The  knowledge 
that  the  father  had  made  Harry  Wold's  life  a  bur- 
den to  him,  and  had  probably  shorten..)  ii  i.y  mane 
years,  perhaps  operated  on  the  young  man's  mind. 
Old  Harry's  one-roomed  hovel  was  repaired  in  the 
night  with  stones  gathered  from  the  stream  of  a 
neighboring  valley,  and  the  thatch  was  mended  at 
the  same  time.  The  old  man  never  saw  Tomcat 
work  upon  this  task,  as  it  was  done  when  he  was  dead 
asleep,  but  the  villagers  knew  what  bad  been  done, 
and  who  had  done  it,  and  it  set  them  thinking. 

"  I  be  dun  vor,  Measter  Tom,"  the  old  man  said

" Thee  hean't  dun  for  yet,  if  I  know  ut,"  replied 
Tom,  who  spoke  as  if  he  could  move  o  mountain. 

The  old  man  had  told  him  how  he  was  behind-, 
hand  with  his  rent,  and  how  troubles  never  come 
singly.  His  landlord— the  small  grocer  of  the  vil-

ho  had  a  friend  in  Squire  Southern's  overseer,  and 
he  got  himself  yoked  as  a  fellow-laborer  with  old 
Harry  Wold.  From  that  moment  the  old  man  ap-

much  as  young  Tom  Dibhles's.  Tho  truth  oozed

is  quickly  drawn  in  again.  Again  the  pole  is  in- 
serted, and  at  last  Bruin  gets  so  savage  that  ho  de- 
termines to  make  a  bolt.  Gathering  himself  up, 
he  makes  a  dart  out,  like  a  rabbit,  with  a  ferret  be-

The  rustic  flower,  upspringing  bright, 
And  answering  back  that  regal  light, 
Fills  all  the  air  with  fragrant  breath, 
And  writes  in  myriad  hues  beneath, 
"  If  thou  wouldst  gayly,  gladly  live, 
Give— ever  give." 

The  merchant-rain,  which  carries  on 
Rich  commerce  'twist  the  earth  and  sun ; 
The  autumn  mist;  the  springtide  shower; 
All  whisper  soft  to  seed  and  flower, 
' '  We  know  no  other  life  to  live 
But  this— We  give." 

Suggestive  "warnings  crowd  the  earth; 
Glad  sounds  of  labor,  songs  of  mirth, 
From  creatures  both  of  field  and  air ; 
Who,  while  they  take  their  rightful  share, 
Still  truly  chant,   "We  chiefly  live 
To  give-to  give." 

O  man !  the  gem  and  crown  of  all, 
Take  thou  this  lesson.      Heed  the  call 
Of  these  less-gifted  creatures  near ;

a  mile  down  the  Glenelg  River,  beyond  the  bridge,  an

a  pannikin  of  tea  only,  at  others  with  a  glass  of

sober,  affected  to  have  been  out  on  the  spree,  and 
was  also  locked  up  in  the  same  place  with  Stevens, 
and  my  name  also  entered  on  the  night-charge-list 
as  drunk  and  disorderly.  I  never  saw  such  a  change 
in  a  man  as  came  over  Stevens  when  be  found  I 
was  locked  up  with  him.  The  effects  of  the  drink 
were  passing  away  owing  to  the  strong  mental  ex-

the  magistrate  my  authority  to  act  as  detective,  and

A  LOVE-TALE. 

BY  A.N  OLD  FOGEY. 

It  was  the  old  story;  fresh  and  new  to  Harry  as 
tho  words  fell  from  his  horns t  lips.  Bless  tho  lad  \ 
be  thought  his  love-tale,  his  experiences,  were  quite 
novel,  that  mortal  had  never  uttered  the  like  before 
— it  was  just  as  if  some  one  were  telling  me  my  own 
love-story,  word  for  word,  with  the  names  changed. 
A  young  man  with  next  to  nothing  had  fallen  deep- 
!y  in  hum  wish  the  daughter  of  rich  parents— they 
two  had  sworn  eternal  fidelity.  How  Harry  clung 
to  that  pledge!  He  knew  she  would  be  true  to 
him !  I  looked  up  at  his  face,  I  saw  how  hopeful 
and  confident  he  was  -weli-a-day.  sear,  a-o  1  too 
had  been  very  hopeful,  very  confident,  but — ■ 

■  W'hv.  lather,"  he  exclaimed— he  often  called 
mo  father — "how  weak  your  eyes  are!" 

"They  are  not  so  young  as  they  were,  Harry," 
I  replied,  glad  of  the  excuse ;  "I  don't  think  thesB 
glasses  quite  suit  me.  So,  my  boy,  you  haven't 
said  any  thing  to  Brown  yet?" 

""Why,  I  haven't  had  a  good  opportunity,  hut 
perhaps  to-morrow  night—"  he  answered,  hesita- 

It  was  agreed  that  Harry  should  call  for  me  at 
my  little  bachelor  box,  and  that  wo  should  go  to- 
gether to  Brown's.  He  came  at  the  appointed  mo- 
ment; the  fellow  never  looked  handsomer  in  his 
life  ;  we  did  not  speak  much  as  we  drove  along.  I 
recollect  thinking  that  Brown  ought  to  be  proud  of 


,  Brown's,  ami  I  fancy  Many  was  also.  There 
as  a  look  of  greater  display  about  the  house  than 
"family  dinner"  required,  for,  although  Brown 
as  rich  asCraasus,  he  is  an  essentially  mean  man, 
ml  nevei  makes  a  display  unless  it  is  advantageous 


Mrs.  Brown  was  in  the  drawing-room,  and  re- 
ceived us  with  cold  statelines3.  Her  dress  was  a 
magnificent   triumph  of  cost  over  taste,  and   her 


his  daughter.     Brown  was  very  cordial  in  his 

profusely  polite  to  Harry,  engaging  him  to 
;r  conversation,  which  prevented  Harry  from 
e  than  saying-" How  d'ye  do?"  to  Fanny,  who 
way  apart.  She  really  is  a  very  pretty 
arming  figure,  dark  hair,  dark,  peti,.ive 
oso  delicately  retrousse — I  wish  I  could 
describe  faces ;  I  cau't,  I  can  only  say  it  was  a  face 
that  went  to  your  heart  and  stopped  there— the  red 
roses  twined  in  that  dark  hair,  and  the  misty  white 
dress,  it  was  a  pretty  sight,  even  to  my  old  eyes.

In  a  moment  Mrs.  Brown's  stately  aspect  forsook

They  appeared  to  be  mother  and  son,  and  were 
evidently  people  of  great  account,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Brown  being  so  wonderfully  deferential  in  their 
greeting.  I  could  see  Mr.  Denby's  well-bred  lip 
curl  beneath  the  overwhelming  attentions  of  Mrs. 
Brown ;  as  for  Brown  himself,  his  head  was  to- 
tally lost— he  introduced  us  under  wrong  names, 
talked  wildly  and  at  random  about  the  weather, 
and  at  last  subsided  into  hopeless  silence  on  a  spi- 
der chair. 

Mrs.  Denby's  easy  manner  lulled  the  assiduities 
of  .Mr-,   brown,  and  ihev  s 


As  for  that  fellow  Denby  I  took  a  dislike  to  the 
man  at  once;  there  was  a  superciliousness  about 
him  that  greatly  annoyed  me. 

Dinner  was  announced ;  Brown's  head  was  off 

To  my  astonishment  I  was  thrust  half-way  to- 
ward the  door  with  Mrs.  Denby  on  my  arm  ;  Harry 
iu  the  scramble  had  got  hold  of  Funny;  when  a  false 
start  was  declared,  the  order  of  the  company  was 
changed,  and  Fanny  was  assigned  to  Denby. 

"  Treat  you  quite  in  a  friendly  way !"  said  Brown, 
pompously,  addressing  the  company  generally.  I 
was  out  of  patience  to  hear  the  man  talk  such  non- 
Bense.  It  was  a  most  elaborate  dinner ;  the  table 
was  arranged  with  charming  fancies,  delicately 
modeled,  crowned  with  flower  and  fruit  superstruc-

breaking  up  Denby's  conversation  with  Fanny.  I 
based  my  attack  upon  the  ovat  political  qiiesiimi ; 
at  last  I  observed  that  he  began  to  listen  to  me  with 
attention.  I  was  never  so  wearied  of  an  affair  in 
my  life,  and  was  quite  relieved  when  the  ladies 
left  us. 

All  this  time  Brown  had  been  gradually  getting 
quite  at  his  ease,     I  take  it  that  dinner  is  a  great 


at  home  with  Denby,  caMin-  him  "Mi  ha-'  Old 
fellow!"  toasting  him  as  future  chairman  "of  the 
Underground  Railroad  Company.  I  c.aild  -.;■■■  (hat. 
Denby  winced  under  all  this,  but  he  was  just  as  po- 

"It  must  be  that  the  man  is  hard  up  and  wants 
to  borrow  money,"  I  thought;  "that's  the  mean- 
ing, too,  of  all  the  attention  he  has  been  paying  to 
Brown's  daughter,"  At  last  Brown  grew  supreme- 
ly confidential,  and  informed  us  of  the  cost  of  all 
the  prominent  objects  in  the  room,  from  the  fine 
dessert  service  on  the  table  to  the  black  old  mas- 

At  length  a  move  was  made  for  the  drawing-

same  photographs  with  greal  attention,  i  IV- lv  that

insensibly  shaped  itself 
.  He  kept  urging  me  to  dictate; 
there  was  my  old  letter  rewritten, 


,  Harry  looking  at  it  with 
the  voung  feelings  and  young  eyes  with  which  I 
had  looked  at  my  former  letter  years  ago.  I  sup- 
pose it  was  a  tolerably  good  letter  in  its  way,  he- 
cause  Harry  declared  it  expressed  exactly  what  he 

"  It's  all  so  true,  so  convincing!"  he  exclaimed. 
"That  nart  where  yon  hint  at  the  uncertainty  of

"No,  no,  my  hoy,"  I  continued ;  " logic  is  very 
pretty,  but  it  don't  rule  men's  lives.  However,  we 
may  just  as  well  chance  the  letter,  only  I  don't  want 
you  to  build  too  hopefully  upon  its  effect" 

So  the  letter  was  sent  to  Brown;  Harry  gave  me 
Brown's  answer  to  read  a  day  or  two  after  in  my 
office.  I  read  the  result  I  had  feared  in  his  coun- 
tenance, he  was  striving  to  be  so  very  calm  and 
self-possessed.  Well,  Brown's  reply  wasvery  like 
the  answer  I  had  received  years  ago ;  I  suppose  in 

forms  supplied  to  men's  minds  which  they  use  and 
modify  at  their  need.  I  thought  to  myself  wheth- 
er it  would  be  any  use  for  me  to  see  Brown,  and  be- 
fore I  could  determine  whether  it  would  be  any  use 

It  happened  I  was  the  very  man  Brown  wanted 
to  see  ;  he  had  been  on  the  point  of  sending  for  me ; 
he  had  wished  to  have  a  talk  about  the  Company ; 
he  had  made  an  appointment  with  Denby,  who 

name  started  me  on  ray  subject  at  once.  I  scarcely 
recollect  the  details  of  our  conversation,  I  was  so 
greatly  excited;  I  believe  in  my  desire  to  move 
him  I  recounted  my  own  history,  my  early  love  and 
disappointment;   how  it  had  cankered  my  oxist- 

with  the  man  she  disliked.  Brown  stared  at  me 
with  surprise  in  his  stolid  fi 


its  for  onr  tour.     But  Harry,  after  all,  was  not 
ined  to  be  my  companion  this  year.      Three

used  against  Fanny  were  no  longer  available ;  and

A  SOLDIER'S  DIARY. 

Mr.  Editor,— I  send  you  a  bit  of  veritable  his- 
tory—a leaf  from  a  soldier's  diary  in  the  last  cam- 
paign. The  testimony  of  an  eye-and-ear  witness, 
the  personal  record  and  experience  of  one  man  is 
always  valuable.  But  every  man  in  the  army  has 
bis  story  or  report  to  give.  Collect  a  hundred  thou- 
sand such  reports,  and  you  have  the  history  of  a 
campaign.  Not  the  dry  official  report  of  the  gen- 
eral or  corps  commander,  nor  even  tha  flaming  rhe- 
"  descriptions  of  "our  correspondent."     Here, 


as  nothing  u.i-  dune  for  glor;.  . 
for  effect.  But  the  simple  Lucid 
life,  told  naturally  as  they  fell  ou

1  men  in  the  midst  of  great  actions  are  poets, 
and  write  poetically;  that  is,  truthfully.  A  bold 
Btroke  or  two,  no  matter  how  rough  the  writing 
may  be,  paints  the  image  to  the  mental  eye,  and 
gives  the  scenery  of  war  and  battle.  And  as  the 
scene  changes  and  shifts,  and  unrolls  itself  to  the 
gaze  of  the  actor  and  spectator,  he  is  made  a  par-

F'jtn  the  gutta-percha  works  the  cable  is  then 
carried  to  the  Morden  Wharf  factory.  Here  the

From  first  to  last,  we  may  hero  observe,  the  cable

The  offort  to  as- 


his  rruth  is  borne  steadily  in  mind  it  will 
en  that  the  difficulty  is  one  that  does  not

.crcnt    interpretation   of   the   fundamental 


signty  i 


wrong.     They  are  like  children  in  the  sulks. 

If  you  try  to  pacify  them  by  the  most  contrary 

expedients  it  is  equally  useless.     If  you  walk  or 

ed  ;  and  human  ingenuity  was  never  yet  with- 

out a  plausible  excuse  for  the  wildest  contradic- 

tions and  absurdities.     An  old  Cavalier  would 

as  soon  have  named  his  son  Praise  God  or  Zeal- 

in-the-land  as  an  opponent  of  the  war  be  ap- 

peased or  satisfied  with  any  act  of  the  Govern- 

But  those  who  sec  this,  and  who  knew  from 

the  beginning  what  the  issue  of  all  such  peace 

embassies  must  be,  are  not  lo  be  lightly  called 

the  matter  better  than  the  dwbblers  in  hopeless 

projects  of  peace. 

The  words,  "extreme  war  party,"  are  used 

as  a  term  of  contempt  or  censure.     But  how 

are  they  contemptible  who  insist  upon  maintain- 

ing civil  order  against  causeless  rebellion?  and 

why  should  they  be  censured  who  demand  an 

unconditional  surrender  of  armed  rebels?     If 

wish  for  vengeance,  then  the  term  describes  a 

very  few  people— so  few,  that  most  men  do  not 

know  of  their  existence. 

For  there  is  no  wish  of  vengeance,  but  only 

of  peace  that  shall  endure.     We  have  very  little 

doubt  that  when  the  rebels  have  acknowledged 

the  authority  of  the  Government,  and  have  as- 

sented either  to  emancipation  or  to  a  peaceful 

and  legal  trial  of  the  question,  they  will  find 

that  the  people  do  not  favor  a  wholesale  confis- 

of  the  rebel  leaders,  who  have  caused  more  pre- 

cious blood  to  flow  than  they  could  atone  for  if 

they  bled  until  the  end  of  the  world  ;  that  they 

ask  two  things  only,  but  ask  them  with  a  power 

not  to  be  denied— Reunion  and  Liberty,  with- 
out which  there  can  be  no  Peaoe.

THE  BLACK  LAWS. 
Illinois  has  repealed  her  black  laws,  and 
indeed  she  could  hardly  help  wiping  the  stair 
from  her  face  when  her  neighbor  Missouri  mi

black  laws  of  Illinois,  although  Illinois  is  a  frc. 
State,  were  as  much  n  part  of  the  code  of  slav- 
ery as  any  slave  law  of  Arkansas  or  Mississippi 
for  they  were  the  work  of  what  was  cnlled  tin

smoothed  her  hair  with  a  very  white  hand,  and  tool; 
from  her  traveling-bag  a  bewildering  little  hood,

the  top,  and  .another  under  the  chin ;  they  call  it  a 
sea-foam  in  the  shops,  1  have  since  discovered. 

This  she  carefully  tied  on  ;  and  I  was  quite  in- 
terested to  see  how  nicely  she  pulled  the  bow  under 
the  chin,  quite  straight  and  true,  when  she  made 
it.     I  do  so  like  to  Bee  any  one  exact.     While  she 

By  George,  Sir,  you  may  think  you've  seen  pretty 
women,  but  you' never  saw  one  like  that!  Such 
bright  blue  eyes,  and  such  yellow  hair— none  of 
your  die-awn v  flax-colored  stuff,  but  bright  solid 
yellow,  just  l'ike  ingot  gold.  Then,  such  a  pretty 
'color  in  her  cheeks,  and  such  little  even  white  teeth 
when  she  laughed  !  I  never  thought  much  about 
a  woman's  looks  before ;  but  I've  looked  at  every 
one  I've  seen  since,  and  there  are  none  to  he  had  as 
per  sample.  I  suspect  the  re<t  of  the  bale  lias  been 
picked  up  for  Mohammed's  Paradise,  that  the  beg- 
gars over  there  in  Bengal  used  to  talk  about  so 

So  I  stared,  and  stared,  until  a  little  smile  began 
to  twitch  the  corners  of  her  mouth,  and  she  turned 
to  look  out  the  window.      Lord,  Sir!  how  I  felt 


promised  myself  directly  that  I 
wouldn't  look  at  her  again  all  night ;  in  fact,  I 
fairly  turned  my  back,  and  looked  out  my  own  win- 
dow* till  my  eyeballs  snapped,  I  was  bo  afraid  of 
doing  it  again. 

But  what  do  you  think  happened  next  ?  Why, 
as  I  was  staring  away,  and  seeing  nothing  but  a 
great  black  hole  outside  the  car,  the  softest,  sweet- 
est little  voice  yon  ever  beard,  said, 

"Don't  you  think  it's  dangerous  for  them  to  go 
so  fast  in  the  night,  Mr.  Brewin  ?" 

Mr.  Brewin !  Shed  got  my  name  and  all,  you 
see !  just  as  pat  as  if  she'd  known  me  a  dozen  years, 
And  all  so  natural !  No  one  would  have  thought  it 
was  the  first  word  that  ever  passed  between  us,  or 
that  she  felt  it  any  way  strange  to  speak  to  me, 
only  when  I  started  quick,  and  turned  round,  she 
looked  a  little  scared,  and  smiled  in  a  shy  way  that 
v.ivi  juvuier  than  all. 

I  told  her  I  thougb.1  there  was  no  ..bn-.-r  am!

we  spent  that  night  upon  the  bosom  of  the 
Connecticut.      A  magnificent  stream! 

At  the  other  side  we  were  bundled  into  a  wretched 
old  car  with  narrow  low-backed  seats  and  no  stove. 
This  was  miserable  enough,  and  if  the  railway  com- 
panies find  it  pleasant  and  profitable  to  smash  up 
whole  trains  of  cars  (including  passengers)  every 
few  days,  they  should  at  least  provide  a  .sufficient 
relay  to  take  their  place.  Most  of  us  don't  mind 
the  chance  of  being  smashed,  but  I  for  one  do  mind 
the  certainty  of  being  uncomfortable,  and  when  I've 
once  been  made  so  in  a  particular  place,  I  take  very

Well,  but 

my  seat,  and  thought  it  over.  It  didn't  seem  the 
thing  to  me  to  go  hulking  off  to  my  own  berth,  leav- 
ing this  lonely  little  thing  to  sit  holt  upright  all 
night,  without  a  boiH  to  speak  to  her.  I  glanced 
through  the  car.  There  were  two  or  three  dbagree- 
able-lnoking  Icllows  round  the  stove,  and  only  one 
other  woman  to  be  seen.  No,  it  wasn't  the  thing  at 
all  to  leave  her. 

Then  I  wondered  why  she  wouldn't  have  a  sleep- 
ing berth.  Perhaps  it  was  the  extra  charge.  If 
that  was  ail-but  then  how  was  I  to  find  out?  It 
wouldn't  do  to  ask  outright,  nor  it  wasn't  likely

So  I  got  up  and  leaned  over  the  back  of  her  seat,

ed,  too,  to  speak  as  carelessly  as  possible,  so  that

"  1  wouldn't  sit  up  all  night  if  I  was  you,"  says 
"You  can  get  a  very  comfortable  nap  in  the 
eping-car,  1  promise  you  ;  and  as  I  don't  think  I

■e  no  use  for  it  myself,  and  you  can  have  it  better 

She  smiled  again.      Somehow  every  thing  I  said

km  and  walked  off,  he  sneaking  along  alter  n 

I  felt  I  was  getting  a  little  irritated  at  being 
watched  that  way,  and  I  had  some  idea  of  taking 
the  fellow  by  the  nape  of  the  neck  and  rlingin 

;1|V,  all  hardlv  worth  the  trouble. 

But  when  I  got  back  to  Kitty,  I  was  so  busy 
thinking  it  over  that  I  forgot  to  speak  to  her,  hut 
just  putting  my  hand  under  her  head,  lifted  it  up 
and  put  the  pillow  under  as  nicely  as  I  could.  Then 
spread  the  blanket  over  her  and  tucked  it  all  in

light  In  a  regular  laugh. 

I  was  glad  she  -felt  so  mem-,  but  I  hoped  I 
wasn't  laughing  at  me. 

When  1  got  into  the  car,  however,  she  had  sol 
ed  down  wonderfully,  and  thanked  me  very  pre 
ly  for  all  the  pains  I  had  taken.      I  told  her  th

looking  through  the  window,  I  saw  Saunderson  rise

sight  seemed  to  paralyze  me  !

drank  a  long  draught  of  blood  !

They,  Lord  bless  'em !  wanted  to  make  a  eounter- 
jumper  of  me,  and  I  tried  measuring  rags  about  a 
year.  Then  I  couldn't  stand  it  any  longer,  and 
jumped  the  old  counter  for  good,  and  cut  and  went 
to  sea.  I'd  had  a  hankering  for  it  for  a  good  while, 
and  the  only  thing  1  ever  regretted  was  the  way 

bright,  there  nuts  one  thing. 

That  was  Jenny  Blush,  old  Blush's  only  daugh- 
ter, and  the  prettiest  girl  I  ever  cast  eyes  on.  Her 
skin  was  just  as  soft  and  fair  as  any  baby's.  As  for 
her  hair,  I've  got  a  bit  in  my  old  desk  up  stairs, 
and  ihough  it's  crossed  the  ocean  about  a  dozen 
times,  it's  so  bright  now  you'd  take  it  for  a  gold

Blush  came  home  to  tea.  I  never  heard  a  gale  v' 
wind  roar  louder  than  he  did  when  he  saw  me. 

"  What  do  unit  want  here,  Sir?"  says  he. 

Says  I,  "Don't  you  recollect  me,  Mr.  Blush? 
I'm  Jack  Ballast." 

Says  he,  "I  recollect  you  well  enough,  and  how 
dare  you  show  your  face  here  ?  " 

Says  I,  "  I  came  to  see  my  Jenny." 

"Your  Jenny?"  says  he.  "My  good  fellow, 
Miss  Jenny  Blush  is  no  match  for  a  common  sailor 
before  the  mast;  and  whatever  there  may  have 
been  between  you  when  you  were  entitled  to  my

might  have  been  a  partner  in  our  firm,  Sir.  You 
might  have  been  a  gentleman,  and  had  as  good  a 
business  in  the  dry-goods  line  as  any  man  alive. 
And  you've  chosen  to  be  a  roving  rascal.  And  I'd

might  have  loved  a  brother,  if  I'd  had  a  better  one 
than  Charles  Augustus.  At  Gibraltar  Hamlin  got 
into  a  row  with  some  English  soldiers.  They'd  all 
been  drinking  together;  of  course  I  took  his  part. 
They  had  lire-arms  about  them,  and  used  'cm  on 
each  other.  I  didn't  save  Hamlin,  for  they  shot  him 
dead ;  but  I  got  a  couple  of  bullets  in  me,  and  was 
picked  up  just  as  near  Davy  Jones's  locker  as  man 
ever  was  who  didn't  go  into  it.  I  got  well  again, 
but,  as  you  may  say,  on  the  invalid  list;  and  as  I'd 
laid  by  a  handful  of  money  and  was  past  forty,  I 
made  up  my  mind  to  stay  ashore  and  take  care  of 
Tom  Hamlin's  orphan  children,  lie  h  id  ■  ,:„  ■■■: 
them,  both  girls.     I  settled  down  in  New  York  and 


for  the  woman  they  were  boarded  with  was  given 
to  drink  and  kept  them  on  bread  and  treacle  :  nod 
as  they  told  me  I  must,  I  put  them  in  black  frocks 
—they'd  have  felt  just  as  bad  in  red— and  settled 
down  to  be  comfortable.  Soon  I  looked  out  for  a 
chaplain  to  pass  Sunday  as  it  ought  to  be ;  and  the 
Rev.  Eben  Tooker's  church  being  handy,  I  shipped 
under  him  along  with  the  gals,  and  a3  I  always 
did  my  duty,  never  pretended  not  to  see  the  plate 
when  the  steward  shoved  it  up  our  pe,w.  Rev. 
Eben  Tooker  was  a  sociable  man.  He  used  to  drop 
in  evenings  and  talk  to  me  about  my  soul ;  and 
though  1  can't  say  but  what  I  dropped  asleep  some- 
times he  knowed  his  duty  when  he  did  it.  A 
capt    n's  duty  ib  one  thing,  and  a  chaplain's  is  an- 

'  ie  day  he  spoke  about  poor  Hamlin's  gals.

real  love  for  his  duty  as  he  did.  It  was  that  love

happiness  into  our  cup.  No  heart  in  this  woi 
ever  contained  more  of  the  milk  of  human  kii

Penrhyn  really  were;  but  had  , h  i r  inr-r-in--  I.

of  horror  and  dismay— some  so  selfish  in  their  ter-

and  day  Mr.  Penrhyn  was  up  and  about;  where 
the  fovor  raged  worst,  and  people  were  afraid  to 
venture,  there  you  might  be  sure  to  find  him,  watch-

of  man  to  do.  It  was  encouragement  in  itstlf  to 
see  his  kind  face  and  hear  his  cheery  voice.  Peo-

him.  His  wife,  too,  who,  for  her  child's  sake,  re-

THE  CONFERENCE  IN  HAMPTON 


THE  Conference  of  Tilsit  ended  in  a  breach 
of  faith  upon  the  part  of  Alexander  of 
Russia  with  his  allies  and  his  acceptance  of  Na- 
i-oleon's  terms.  That  is  to  say,  Napoleon 
having  conquered  Alexander  in  battle,  iu- 
formed  him  upon  what  terms  he  might  have 
peace.  This  is  the  natural  and  historical  end 
of  every  war.  When  two  parties  appeal  to  the 
sword,  the  sword  inevitably  and  alone  decides. 
It  may  be  ingeniously  masked,  but  it  is  there, 
and  its  edge  \-  tlio  true  arbitrator. 

This  is  as  true  in  our  war  as  it  has  ever  been 
in  any.  Indeed  it  is  peculiarly  true  in  ours,  as 
we  endeavored  to  show  last  week,  because  the 
point  at  issue  is  so  vital  and  so  simple.  The  in- 
defatigable reporters  at  Washington  and  else- 
where, and  the  extraordinary  editors,  who  print 
upon  one  page  the  most  harrowing  accounts  of 
the  atrocious -barbarism  of  rebels  toward  loyal 
soldiers,  and  upon  another  speak  of  the  rebel 


tempted  to  show,  and  it  is  constantly  necessary 
to  repeat,  that,  despite  the  duration  and  scope 

not  only  very  simple,  but  its  solution  is  perfectly 
plain.  The  authority  of  the  Government  of  the 
United  States  is  attacked.     That  authority  will 

maintained  and  partly  lost,  for  the  same  reason 


s  make  four  and  sometimes  throe;  fi-r 
the  same  reason  that  white  can  not  be  partly 
black,  and  good  partly  bad.  The  just  authority 
of  the  Government  is  supreme,  or  it  is  not.  It 
is  not  supreme  if  it  yields  any  just  authority  to 
force ;  aud  it  does  yield  to  foj'ce  if  the  force 
does  not  utterly  fail. 

To  suppose  that  the  President  or  Secretary 
Seward  could  propose  any  thing  but  uncondi- 
tional submission,  first  of  all,  was  to  suppose 
that  they  were  hope!es3  of  subduing  the  rebellion 
or  that  they  were  traitors.  The  latter  supposi- 
tion was  ludicrous.  The  former  was  impossible, 
because  the  President  had  already  said  in  his 
Message  that  paace  was  always  to  be  had  upon 
pnhrnissinn;  and  the  Secretary  had  said  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Christian  Commission,  only  three 
days  before  he  went  to  Fortress  Monroe,  that  it 
only  remained  for  a  party  vanquished  in  the 
field  to  offer  its  submission.  The  conference  in 
Hampton  Roads  was  thus,  not  only  by  the  neces- 
sities of  the  case  which  they  understood,  hut  by 
their  own  expressed  and  natural  intelligence  of 
the  situation,  reduced  to  one  simple  question 
and  answer:  "Do  you  submit?"  If  the  an- 
swer was  Yes,  there  would  be  peace.  If  the  an- 
swer was  No,  there  would  be  war. 

As  to  what  the  answer  was  likely  to  be  no 
man  competent  to  form  an  opinion  could  differ. 
The  gentlemen  who  mysteriously  hinted  that 
peace  was  much  nearer  than  was  generally  sup- 
posed, who  did  not  wish  to  excite  public  expect- 
ation— but  if  the  public  expectation  was  great, 
it  would  probably  not  be  disappointed — seem  to 
us  simply  to  have  forgotten  the  history  of  the 


t  Confederates," 
:i  who  will  fight 

.•ion  ihey  have  made  in  Europe.      Rebels 
Xwis  and  Benjamin  do  not  wish,  and  <U> 

■  United  States      'phcy  mean  to  hurl  everv 
they  can  [igjiinst  the  bayonets  of  United 


States  soldiers,  and  when  they  see  they  can 
hurl  no  more,  then  to  save  themselves.  And 
this  they  will  do  just  so  long  as  they  can  con- 
trol the  military  despotism  which  "eminent 
Confederates"  call  "the  Confederate  Govern- 
ment." To  suppose  that  such  men  would  send 
agents  to  offer  their  submission,  is  to  betray  a 
credulity  and  an  ignorance  of  the  workings  of

going  there  rather  than  remaining  in  Washing- 
ton may  be  many  ;  but  there  is  one  which  may 
have  weighed  heavily  with  him,  and  that  is,  the 
absolute  freedom  from  interlopers  which  was  se- 
cured by  going  there,  to  which  may  be  added 
the  presence  of  Lieu  ten  ant-General  Grant  if 
wanted.  If  the  Commissioners  were  to  be  re- 
ceived and  heard  at  all,  and  probably  no  one 
will  deny  that  they  were,  then  it  was  mainly  a 
question  of  convenience  in  what  spot  they  should 
be  received.  .That  the  President  went  part  way 
to  meet  them  shows  how  earnest  and  hearty  is 


does  all  he  can  do  to  attain  peace.  If  the  rebel 
agents  had  really  come  to  offer  unconditional 
submission,  should  we  have  been  profoundly 
troubled  that  the  President  went  to  Old  Point? 
And  even  if,  upon  a  knowledge  of  the  facts,  we 
should  think  that  it  would  have  been  better  to 
receive  the  agents  at  Washington,  we  should 
certainly  consider  it  a  very  venial  offense  in  the 
i're-idenl  to  hold  another  view. 

The  result  of  the  interview  will,  we  hope, 
satisfy  every  man  and  editor  that  our  business 
is  not  to  suppose,  nor  to  lead  others  to  suppose,, 
that  every  time  an  enthusiastic  youth  or  a  vet- 
eran politician  believes  himself  called  to  be  the 
medium  of  peace,  it  is  worth  while  to  speculate 
in  double  leads  about  any  of  the  possible  con- 
sequences. If  the  visit  of  Mr.  Blair  to  Rich- 
mond produced  the  rebel  embassy,  the  truth  still 
repiaincd  unchanged,  that,  if  they  did  not  come 
to  propose  unconditional  submission,  we  were  no 
nearer  peace  than  we  were  before.  The  rebels

THE  AMENDMENT. 

It  can  not  be  said  that  the  Yankees  do  not 
learn.  When  the  war  began,  General  Butler 
offered  his  soldiers  to  repress  movements  of  the 
slaves.  Generals  ELalleck  and  M'Clell.vn 
made  themselves  disagreeably  notorious  in  re- 
pelling the  Best  sources  of  information  ;  and 
from  one  end  of  the  country  to  the  other  it  was

means  a  general  popular  conviction.

or  as  many  Charles  Tenths  of  France,  is  the 
only  parallel  we  can  imagine  for  this  ludicrous 
group  of  American  citizens.  Neither  the  French 
nor  the  English  Charles  would  ever  believe  that 
the  people  were  in  earnest.  Neither  the  Bour- 
bon nor  the  Stuart  could  learn  any  thing  from 
arguments  or  from  blows.  And  this  faction  in 
the  free  States,  which  moribund  Slavery  leads 
by  the  nose,  is  at  once  the  Jacobin  and  Jacobite 
element  in  our  politics ;  Jacobin  in  its  appeals 

and  Jacobite  in  its  tenacious  clutch  upon  what- 
ever denies  the  original  rights  of  men. 

For  the  last  twenty  years  events  have  been 
trying  the  public  men  of  this  country  until  the 
very  dregs  at  last  appear.  It  is  the  most  ter- 
rible record  of  the  century.  An  honorable 
man  hereafter  would  a  thousandfold  rather  say

rank  among  them  the  lugubrious  Greek  who 
would  count  no  man  happy  until  he  died.  But 
certainly  we  include  in  this  doleful  company 
the  croakers  who  continually  sigh  that  nothing 
is  done  while  any  thing  remains  to  do.  If  the 
sun  is  to  rise  at  seven  o'clock,  they  tell  you  at 
half  past  six  that  nothing  has  happened  yet.  If 
they  were  sailing  to  India,  and  had  passed  the 
Cape  of  Good  Hope,  they  would  still  insist  that, 
as  they  had  not  arrived,  there  was  plainly  no 
chance  of  arriving. 

These  are  the  gentlemen  who  are  always  sure

acting  upon  a  morbid  temperament,  that  makes 
them  petulant  of  believing  in  victory.  But  we 
assure  them  there  is  yet  ground  of  hope  for  the 
national  cause.  Affairs  are  not  yet  utterly  des-

SPAIN  AT  THE  CONFESSIONAL.

lieges  for  his  action.  Spain  had  supposed,  he

right  not  disputed.  When  protests  appeared  it 
was  still  the  duty  of  the  Government,  he  thinks, 
to  ascertain  whether  they  proceeded  from  the 
people  or  from  a  discontented  few.  The  Gov- 
ernment has,  in  his  opinion,  satisfied  that  duty. 
Snn  Domingo  is  virtually  in  arms  against  an- 
nexation, and  Spain  yields  to  the  indisputable 
popular  wish,  and  retires. 

This  is  precisely  the  colonial  policy  urged 
upon  Great  Britain  by  the  wisest  of  her  libera? 
party.  When  the  mother  country,  they  say,

ment.  The  principle  goes  further  than  Nar- 
vaez  or  any  Spanish  minister  would  like  to  fol- 
low it,  for  it  justifies  the  Spanish  Revolution  of 
1812  and  of  1823.  The  proposition  of  Narvaez 
declares,  in  direct  opposition  to  the  doctrine  of 
the  Holy  Alliance,  that  governments  are  found- 
ed upon  public  opinion,  and  not  upon  the  divine 
right  of  kings. 

This  is  another  indication  of  the  new  political 
epoch  of  the  world.  The  wars  of  the  Holy  Al- 
liance in  Em-ope,  and  the  rebellion  of  Slavery 
in  this  country,  are  the  last  desperate  struggles 
of  the  ancient  system  which  founded  govern- 
ment upon  the  concessions  of  a  privileged  class, 
and  not  upon  the  natural  rights  of  men  from

said  John  C.  Calhoun.  "We  seceded  to  rid 
ourselves  of  the  rule  of  the  majority, "  said  Jef- 
ferson Davis.  Both  of  these  sentiments  are 
in  harmony  with  the  late  protest  of  the  Pope 
against  modern  times,  and  the  laws  of  human 
development.  They  are  both  worthy  of  Tiljier 
or  of  Joseph  le  Maistre. 

In  his  friendly  eulogy  upon  Edward  Ev- 
erett, the  historian  Bancroft  in  his  clear, 
nervous  style,  says  that  his  friend  would  have 
failed,  in  writing  history,  because  he  was  not 
sufficiently  accustomed  to  consider  events  as 
subordinate  to  law.  Government  is  an  experi- 
mental science,  but  some  of  its  laws  are  as  clear 
and  computable  as  those  of  astronomy.  And 
those  in  this  country  who  have  been  in  the  habit 
of  seriously  supposing  that  the  Southern  poli- 
ticians were  really  statesmen,  may  see,  on  the 
one  hand,  in  the  total  ruin  of  all  Calhoun's  theo- 
ries, and,  on  the  other,  in  the  proposal  of  Nar- 
vaez, the  difference  between  a  disregard  and 
perception  of  one  of  the  fundamental  laws  of  the 
science  of  government.     If  men  who  do  not  see 


OUR  PRISONERS  IN  REBEL 
HANDS. 

Mr.  Richardson  is  a  witness  risen  from  the 
dead.  His  testimony  concerning  the  treatment 
of  our  prisoners  by  the  rebels  is  so  graphic,  so 
harrowing,  and  so  solemn  that  it  should  be  uni- 
versally known.  He  says  plainly  that  the  reb- 
els, or  the  "eminent  Confederates,"  are  delib- 
erately killing  our  robust  young  men  by  hunger 
and  cold ;  and  when  he  escaped  they  were  dy- 
ing at  the  rate  of  thirteen  percent,  per  month— 
a  mortality  which,  as  he  truly  says,  would  in 
forty-eight  hours  send  the  populution  of  any  city 
flying  from  it  as  from  a  pestilence ;  for  a  fear- 
ful pestilence  it  would  be.  Now  we  have  an 
excess  of  prisoners  by  at  least  fifteen  or  twenty 
thousand.  "  If  we  will  not  exchange,"  he  asks, 
"  why  don't  we  retaliate  ?  and  if  we  will  not  re- 
taliate, why  don't  we  exchange?"

Mr.  Richardson  refers  to  the  case  of  the  Union 
Captains  Sawyer  and  Flynn,  who  were  sen-

ment ordered  the  Commandant  at  Fortress  Mon-

when  the  rebels  put  our  colored  prii

fire,  General  Butler  iuforme 
ities  that  he  had  placed  an  equal  number  of  <bel

and  argument  of  Mr.  Richard- 
son are  very  forcible,  and  no  question  deserves 
prompter  consideration  and  more  decisive  action. 
Yet  in  suggesting  a  general  exchange  does  he 
not  forget  that  the  rebels  refuse ' 
colored  prisoners  ? — a  point  which  at  least  em- 
barrasses an  easy>  settlement.     General  Butler 
proposed  to  exchange  first  the  white  prisoners 
man  for  man,  and  then  he  says  we  should  still 
have  held  so  many  more  of  the  rebels  than  they 
of  our  colored  prisoners  that  we  could  have  dic- 
tated terms.     For  some  reason  t" " 
adopted.     Perhaps  for  this,  among  others,  that 
it  seemed  rather  absurd  to  allow  an,  enemy  who 
held  fewer  of  our  men  than  we  of  theirs  to  dic- 
tate distinctions^among  our  soldiers ;  and  that  it 
was  rather  a  cruel  desertion  of  those  who  had 
risked  more  in  enlisting  than  their 
arms,  to  leave  them  in  the  hands  of  the  tor- 
mentors, even  if  they  were  offset  by  a  larger 
number  of  rebel  captives.     Besides,  if  we  had 
retained  some  of  the  rebel  officers  as  hostages,  it 
might  have  been  impossible  to  settle  thi

There  was  a  line  sting  in 
which  her  visitor  winced.  Why  did  she  say  aMcad-

for  his  country  breeding,  or  an  apology  for  her  own

was  the  matter 

"A  man  either  dead  or  dying," 

was  the  reply.  "A  ease  of  starvation,  they  say." 
I  could  scarcely  account  for  the  impulse  that  in- 
duced mo  to  approach,  and  as  I  did  so  the  crowd 
partially  opened.  "Has  any  one  ever  a  drop  of 
brandy?"  a  policeman  inquired,  looking  round.  I 
had.  I  always  carried  a  smalt  flask  of  it  in  my

"  'Have  I  found  thee,  O  mine  enemy?'"  I  in* 
wardly  exclaimed. 

Yes,  I  had  found  him,  as  my  utmost  malice  could 
have  wished  to  find  him.  He  was  in  my  power 
now.     Oh  joy  unspeakable !     Revenge  at  last ! 

The  brandy  had  so  far  restored  him  that  ho 
showed  signs  of  life,  though  still  insensible.  The 
police  were  talking  of  conveying  him  to  the  sta- 
tion-house, but  I  interfered. 


As  they  carried  him  o 
o  ask  myself  what  I  sho 
nine  now  that  he  had  fal 


.surviving  the  night.  There  had  been  recent 
ous  illness,  it  was  clear— fever  probably  ;  and  1 
with  want  of  food  and  overfatigue,  had  so  \ 
tratcd"  the  physical  powers  that  he  doubted  I 


given,  and  on  the  eare  with  which  these  were  •_ 
ed  would  prohahlv  depend  the  last  chance  of 
There  ought  to  be  constant  watching,  giving  > 


the  idea  of  such  a  spy  upon  my  action- 
would  do  all  that  was  necessary  for  th 
self. 

Looking  at  me  with  that  keen,  almos 
eye  of  his,  he  remarked  that  ho  would  c 
the  morning,  and  handing  mo  his  can 
should  want  liim  sooner,  repeat! 
to  care,  and  departed. 

I  managed,  not  without  difficulty,  to  undress  the 
attenuated  form,  and  lay  it  insido  the  bed;  and 
having  done  so,  went  down  to  prepare  myself  somo 

might  be  required  for  what  I  had  to  do.  Present- 
ly a  boy  brought  the  medicines— two  bottles,  on 
one  of  which  was  written,  "  To  bo  taken  immediate- 
ly ;"  on  the  other,  "A  sixth  part  to  be  taken  ev- 
ery two  hours."  I  carried  both  up  stairs  with  my 
supper,  and,  sitting  down  by  the  bed,  began,  for  the 

Here,  then,  was  my  enemy  at  my  mercy.  The 
man  who  had  twice  blighted  my  life,  destroyed  my 
character,  was  in  my  power.  I  had  but  to  throw 
away  those  medicines,  to  leave  bim  alone  there,  and 
he  would  die;  the  doctor  had  said  so  again  and 
again.  And  I  should  be  revenged.  He  had  made 
my  life  a  living  death,  and  I  should  make  his  a  real 
one.     And  no  creature  would  know.     I  should  be 

with  him  — the  key  in  my  pocket.      The  doctor 

he  had  almost  foretold),  one  vial  empty,  the  other 
partially  so.     No  eye  could  detect,  no  being  dis- 


pa-Mve  myself,  and  to  let  him  be  so;  to  si' 

if  no  fresh  oil  replenished  it.     And  I  should 
venged. 

But  stay.     Did  I  think  no  one  would  :

a  strange,  unconscious  stare,  then  he  closed  them 
with  a  groan.  I  sat  down  again.  From  my  place 
by  the  bed  I  could  see  tho  sky,  lovely  with  soft

fast,  sometimes  obscured  for  a  moment,  then  emerg- 
ing purer  and  brighter  than  ever,  surrounded  by  a 
wide  circle  of  brilliant  light.  I  gazed  long,  think-

Yes,  I  could  imagine  that  joy  now.      I  had 


live  again ! 

I  looked  at  Philip..  Palo,  utterly  helpless,  ho 
lay  there  wholly  at  my  mercy.  But  he  was  safe 
from  me  now — safe  as  though  his  mother  watched 
beside  him.  He  was  no  longer  my  enemy.  My 
rancorous  hatred  seemed  to  have  fled  —  vanished 
with  the  service  I  had  rendered  him.  I  felt  I  could 
forgive  him,  freely,  unreservedly,  as  I  hoped  to  be 

I  knelt  down,  and  with  my  eyes  fixed  on  his  pale 
face,  prayed,  really  prayed,  for  the  first  time  for  all 
those  years.  And  then  came  over  mo  such  a  flood 
of  thankfulness  as  I  had  never  known,  never  con- 
ceived before.  And  all  through  that  long  night  of 
watching  the  spirit  of  my  master  was  with  me,  and 


is  a  God-like  joy  in  forgiving." 

From  that  time  I  was  an  altered  man.  A  great 
load  seemed  to  have  been  suddenly  lifted  off  me,  and 
I  was  onco  more  free.  My  enemy  had  reconciled  me 
with  my  kind,  and  my  hand  was  no  longer  against 
every  man,  and  every  man's  hand  against  me. 

When  the  doctor  came  the  next  morning  he  not 
only  found  his  patient  alive  but  better  than  he  bad 

that  from  all  he  had  heard  of  my  strange  habits  he 
had  thought  tho  poor  man's  chance  of  life  but  a 
small  one,  and  he  could  scarcely  conceal  his  astonish- 


plare,  who  had  .pnte  a  natural  lorn  for  nur.-iug.  and 
who,  ho  was  sure,  would  willingly  give  her  .services 
for  some  hours  daily,  if  requested"  I  thankfully  ac- 
cepted his  offer  to  speak  to  her.  She  came,  and  I 
leave  you  to  imagine  what  I  felt  when  I  found  my 
Fanny  in  that  kind  assistant  —  Fanny,  who  had 
never  forgotten,  never  ceased  to  seek  me  since  the 
real  particulars  of  my  story  had  been  known,  who 
had  shed  no  end  of  tears  on  my  account — Fanny, 
who  had  nursed  her  lady  in  her  last  illness  at  Paris, 
and  had  inherited  a  nice  little  sum  at  her  death, 


And  >he  did  help  me,  bearing,  as  we  long  had  to 
bear,  with  the  peevish  fretfuluess,  the  fearful  de-

or  if  not  that,  then  his  sagacity.  They  fill  the

renewed  vigor  at  the  want  of  persistence  which 
the  public  displays.

GENERAL  BUENSLDE  AND  THE 
MINE. 

The  explosion  of  the  mine  before  Petersburg 
at  the  end  of  last  July  was,  in  its  results,  one 
of  the  real  disasters  of  the  war,  because  it  dis- 
couraged the  public  mind  to  a  degree  foolishly 
disproportioned  to  the  event.  It  will  be  remem- 
bered that  the  month  of  August  was  one  of  so 
general  depression  lliat  the  Chicago  Convention 
felt  emboldened  to  try  to  carry  an  election  by 
an  appeal  to  the  cowardice  of  the  country.  This 
uction  at  Chicago  and  the  fall  of  Atlanta  dis- 
solved the  temporary  spell,  and  the  public  mind 
resumed  its  natural  tone  of  patience  and  confi-

opinion  that  if  the  proposition  of  universal  free-

The  very  papers  which  now  shout  at  the  "ex-

JUDAH  P.  BENJAMIN. 
In  his  speech  at  the  Richmond  meeting  to 
fire  the  rebel  heart  Mr.  Judah  P.  Benjamin,  of 
Louisiana,  the  rebel  Secretary  of  State,  strongly 
urged  the  policy  of  arming  the  slaves.  When 
our  soldiers  in  the  trenches,  said  he,  are  crying 
out  for  help,  shall  we  care  whether  the  aid  we 
send  is  black  or  white?  « There  are  in  the 
Soutli  "  he  said,  "six  hundred  and  eighty  thou- 
sand black  men  of  fighting  age,  and  capable  of 
being  made  fighting  men.  Let  ns  say  to  every 
negro  who  wants  to  go  into  the  ranks,  Go  and 
fight,  and  you  are  free.  Don't  press  them,  for 
that  will  make  them  run  away,  and  they  will 
Ik-  found  fighting  against  us  instead  of  for  us." 
Without  the  adoption  of  some  decisive,  ener- 
getic, full-way  measure  like  this  there  was  dan- 
ger, verv  great  danger. 

Bi.njamin  is  Davis's  confidential  man.  These 
are  Davis's  views.  And  the  rebel  Senate  has 
almost  unanimously  refused  to  adopt  this  deci- 
sive and  full-way  measure.  The  chivalry  find 
the  alternative  too  bitter.  To  he  saved  by  our 
slaves !  To  erect  our  Confederacy,  of  which 
Mr.  Stephens  declared  that  slavery  was  the 
chief  corner-stone,  upon  abolition!  To  owe 
our  independence,  which  was  to  be  so  readily 
achieved  by  every  Southern  gentleman  shooting 
a  few  dozen  Yankee  vermin,  to  "niggers  I"  No, 
Mr.  Benjamin.  It  was  not  to  this  feast  thai 
the  chivalry  were  invited  to  sit  down,  and  thej 
quite  unanimously  decline  the  invitation. 

Let  Jodah  Benjamin  look  at  it.  You  havt 
always  insisted  that  negroes  were  meant  foi 
slavery.  It  was  resisting  the  divine  order  tt 
oppose  it.  It  was  flying  in  the  face  of  Provi 
dence.  It  was  blasphemous.  The  negroes  an 
good  for  nothing  else.  They  are  an  inferio 
race.  They  require  guardianship.  They  mus 
he  forced  to  work.  They  are  lazy,  idle  vaga 
bonds.  Capital  ought  to  own  labor  and  the  U- 
borer.  The  true  ordtfc  of  society  is  that  which 
rests  upon  a  servile  class.  The  negro  is  really 
thankful  for  slavery.  Have 
old  black  mammy? 

This  is  what  you  and  the 
cans  who  lead  this  rebellion  have  always  been 
jiiviilUng  into  the  Southern  mind.  The  inces- 
sant reiteration  of  this  frantic  nonsense  to  a 
population  kept  purposely  ignorant  an  J  degrad- 
ed ha ;  begotten  in  their  minds  a  firm  conviction 
that  it  is  truth.  All  your  efforts,  and  those  of 
your  whole  political  school,  have  been  directed 
for  a  generation  to  proving  that  slavery,  and 
slavery  alone,  was  the  only  safe  condition  for 
the  negroes,  even  while  you  were  at  profound 
peace,  and  had  the  power  of  the  United  States 
Government  to  call  upon. 

"Who  is  it,  then,  you  hope  to  fool?  Is  it  the 
whites  you  have  so  treacherously  deluded  or  the 
blacks  you  have  so  infamously  wronged?  Are 
the  whites  to  reject  in  a  moment  all  they  have 
been  sedulously  taught  and  unlearn  in  a  day 
the  conviction  of  a  life  ?  Or  are  the  blacks  to 
forget  at  your  bidding  all  they  have  suffered  at 
your  hands?  Do  you  think  that  a  cla-.s  which 
is  able  to  be  stimulated  by  the  hope  of  freedom 
into  fighting  for  you  has  not  been  able  to  com- 
prehend t'ne  war?  Do  you  think  these  slaves 
have  not  watched,  and  waited,  and  scored  in- 
delibly upon  their  souls  what  they  could  not 
speak  and  could  not  but  think  and  feel?  Do 
you  sincerely  hiippusc  iliey  will  trust  your  word, 
a  life-long  oppressor  of  their  race  avenging  u|.on 
them  the  medieval  torture  of  your  own  kind. 
when  they  know  that  your  promise  of  freedom 
is  extorted  only  by  the  direst  fear?  Do  you

in  the  government  of  the  universe,  but  where  it  was 
ho  could  not  tell.  For  when  Colonel  Carton  rode 
away  from  the  Graham's  "place  in  the  country,"  I

This  he  would  have  said  now;  for  this  valent 
which  had  grown  under  his  hands  into  an.  air 
tercel  thing,  never  was  answered. 

C"l '1  Carton  was  not  a  conceited  man  ;  bu

honest  man's  offer  of  his  heart  and  home  and  faith- 
ful devotion  is  at  least  worth  a  reply.  The  Col- 
onel's pale  face  used  to  flush  a  little  at  those  times 
when  ho  was  turning  this  over  in  his  mind ;  indeed 
it  might  be  difficult  to  say  when  he  was  not  turning 
it  over  in  some  indirect  fashion.  He  would  not  have 
told  the  episode  to  his  dearest  friend— hy-the-wav, 
I  doubt  whether  he  bad  a  dearest  friend;  if  he  had, 
that  same  friend  kept  strangely  aloof  from  him 
now.  The  Colonel  had  few  likings;  his  heart 
would  have  been  all  his  wife's,  if— 

Well,  it  was  of  no  use  to  think  any  more  about 
it.  And,  having  come  to  that  conclusion,  the  Col-

Yet  still  the  Colonel  staid  on.  He  had  only  come 
down  for  a  day  or  two,  but  a  week  was  gone  al- 
ready. He  did  not  know  how  closely  th0-e  keen 
eyes  of  young  Graham's  watched  him,  nor  how  p?r- 
plexed  the  young  man  was  with  his  behavior.

Mrs.  Ormsbt  had  only  one  fault,  i 


friendship.-  and  attachments  at  first  .sight  which 
were  not  exactly  prudent.  Because  the  neighbor- 
hood turned  its  back  upon  Mrs.  Swallow  and  said 
hard  things  about  her,  Mrs.  Ormsby  made  her  her 
bosom  friend,  and  was  a  year  in  finding  out  thai  the 
neighborhood  was  right  after  all.  And  when  no-

However,  the  little  woman  never  suspected  half

more  than  they  had  been  in  the  habit  of  doing  while 
she  struggled  with  poverty;  and  being,  as  wo  have

Some  single  ladies  are  remarkably  girlish  at  twenty-

passed  their  sixteenth  birthday;  and  though  Mrs. 
Ormsby  had  been  married,  and  had  a  family,  she 
hud  viewed  life  only  through  the  medium  of  novels. 
Therefore  it  almost  broke  her  heart  to  refuse  the 
offers  of  marriage  which  were  laid  at  her  feet  with- 
in the  first  few  years:  by  the  portly  Quaker,  who 
wanted   an    affectionate  companion,    by  tall  Mr.

that  they  might  point  the  moral  I  felt  a  delicacy  in

By  this  time  my  poor  Muse  wag  pumped  dry.

'oubtless  the  villain  will  write  her  half  a  dozen  at

suddenly  burst  upon  me.  I  sprang  up  from  the

close  to  her  person.  The  trinkets  and  money  which 
she  was  supposed  to  have  about  her  had  disappeared, 
as  well  us  other  articles  in  the  house.  As  no  cries 
had  been  heard  by  the  neighbors,  the  conclusion 
conic  to  by  the  Florence  police  was  to  the  effect  that 
the  murder  had  been  perpetrated,  in  all  probability, 
by  two  assassins,  who  had  obtained  admittance  into 
the  house  when  the  poor  woman  was  alone,  under 
the  pretext,  of  wishing  to  .see  and  hire  her  rooms; 
that  one  of  them  had  suddenly  thrown  a  pocket- 
handkerchief  over  her  mouth  and  brought  her  to  the 
ground,  and  that,  while  thus  held  fast,  and  her  cries 
effectually  stifled,  bis  accomplice  had  cut  her  throat. 
Such  was  the  conclusion  come  to  by  the  police,  and, 
in  particular,  by  its  chief  officer— the  Capo  Com- 
messo  di  Publica  Vigilanza,  Leopoldo  Vita— who, 
among  uther  steps  taken  by  him  at  the  time,  applied 
to  the  higher  administrative  and  legal  authorities  on 
whom  he  was  dependent  for  permission  to  have  the 
eyes  of  the  murdered  woman  photographed — an  ap- 
plication which,  in  the  belief  that  the  granting  it 
could  lead  to  no  practical  result,  was  refused. 

The  police  were  not  without  suspicion  as  to  one  at 

least  of  the  probable  murderers.     Their  suspicions

in  a  cheap  japanned  bread-basket  was  not  wbat  sho 

where  he  was  believed  to  have  taken  part  in  more 

was  accustomed  to. 

After  this  I  spent  many  an  evening  at  No.  20, 

thence  to  Leghorn,  and  from  Leghorn  to  Florence, 

and  the  girls  and  I  became  fast  friends,  even  to 

laughing  over  the  two  valentines,  which,  at  their 

time  of  the  murder.     On  the  discovery  of  the  mur- 

der  he  had  already  disappeared.  After  an  interval 
of  nearly  two  months,  on  the  2d  of  June,  another 
lodging-house  keeper,  Ester  Cellai,  was  found  mur- 
dered in  her  house  in  precisely  the  same  fashion. 

The  body  stretched  on  the  iloor,  the  throat  cut  from 
ear  to  ear,  the  strange  poeket-lianilkerchici  lying  be- 
side the  corpse,  every  valuable  removed— all  this 
done  when  the  poor  creature  was  alone  in  the  dwell- 


ing.    There  wai 


thatt 


dershad  been  commit  fed  by  the  same  hands.  Agaii 
application  was  made  by  the  head  of  the  police  tt 
have  the  eyes  of  the  victim  photographed,  and  again 
for  the  same  reasons  as  before,  the  application  wa: 


stances  from  the  two  previous  ones,  was  perpetrated 
on  the  person  of  a  third  lodging-house  keeper, 
Emilia  Spagnoli.  As  in  the  two  previous  cases  the 
body  was  found  lying  on  the  floor  (on  the  left  side), 
the  throat  cut  as  before  ;  the  handkerchief  was  not 
wanting;  hut  the  woman,  who,  to  judge  from  her 
photograph,   pos sensed   a  strong,  wiry  frame,  had 


probably  irritated 

vigorous  resistance,  for  she  was  wo

SHERMAN'S  TRUE  VICTORY.

ren  if  he  pushed  through 

)  importance.     He  may 

le  State,  it  said,  but  it 

through  the  air, 


t  proved 

so  ?  When  Sherman  arrived  at  Savannah  and 
occupied  it,  was  there  not  a  general  conviction 
that  the  rebellion  had  received  a  death-blow? 
He  had  not  fought  a  battle  upon  the  way.  The 
march  was  an  agreeable  journey.     The  fields

and  the  opponent  learns  at  the  same  moment 
that  it  is  known  to  his  adversary,  the  contest  is 
virtually  over.  The  combatants  seem  to  stand 
as  erect  and  sturdy  as  ever.  But  the  conscious 
mind  of  one  has  relaxed  his  muscleB.  His  heart 
is  conquered,  and  his  hand  succumbs.  So  the 
rebellion  has  maintained  a  saucy  front.  "The 
South"  was  one  man.    "  The  South"  was  eager

Judah  Benjamin  says  that  there  is  very  great 
danger;  when  Davis  and  Hunter  seek  frantic- 
ally to  fire  the  Southern  heart  with  a  wretched 
trick;  when  every  rebel  paper  confesses  the  uni- 
versal gloom  j  and  one  of  them,  speaking  for  all, 
says,  frankly  :  "The  people  are  not  whipped  but 
cowed.  Their  souls  and  not  their  hands  are  dis- 
armed. Our  strength  is  not  sapped,  but  our 
courage  is  oozing  out  at  the  ends  of  our  fin- 
gers ;"  and  when  Earl  Russell  suddenly  dis- 


piercing  the  i 


Sherman  has  exposed  the  mas': 
of  the  rebellion.     Rebel  gaseous 

"Let  the  foe   meet  resistance 
shouts  Mecrath,  the  Governor  i 


needle  lorciug 
;  and  the  brag 


is  in  his  front."  "  Long  before  Columbia  falls, " 
says  the  Columbia  Carolinian  of  February  12, 
"wo  look  for  a  battle  and  a  victory  commen- 
surate in  its  consequences  with  the  great  inter- 
ests now  at  stake,  one  which  will  prove  that 
'God  is  fighting  by  our  side,  although  with 
visor  down,'  and  that  he  lias  vouchsafed  to 
Carolina  the  proud  privilege  of  closing  as  she 
began  this  war — in  triumph."  Five  days  after- 
ward Columbia  was  occupied  by  Sherman. 
The  lion  Beauregard  stole  away;  and  the 
ludicrous  newspaper,  which  asked  "what  reason 


upon  Columbia :  we  can  recall  none,  to  believe 
it  is  contrary  to  common  sense,"  had  no  sooner 
spoken  than  Sherman  arrived. 

The  wretched  bluster  of  the  rebellion  is  re- 
lentlessly ridiculed  by  General  Sherman.  The 
•aine  M.rliile  /.'.yister  which  now  says  that  "the 

i i'l'-  |  ;■"-  rebels]  are  nut  whi|.|.ed  bui  ■  ■e.ve.'i 

their  souls  but  not  their  hands  are  disarmed," 
said  four  years  ago :  "  If  the  war  lasts  five  years 
of  peace  will  be  di 


s  gate 


of  Boston, 

The  day  is  not  far  distant  when  the  North  will 
sue  for  peace.  Until  it  does  the  policy  as  well 
as  the  will  of  the  South  is  to  give  them  war  to 
their  hearts'  content,  war  to  the  knife  and  to 
the  hilt."  "White  slaves,"  said  another  of 
these  pleasing  sheets,  "peddling  wretches,  small- 
change  knaves  and  vagrants,  the  dregs  and  otr- 

f<i!-iTS  whom  Lincoln  suddenly  array; 


as  Mobile  sent  to  battle  ye-ier- 
day.  Let  them  come  South  and  we  will  put 
our  negroes  to  the  dirty  work  of  killing  them. 
But  they  will  not  come  South.  Not  a  wretch 
of  them  will  live  on  this  side  of  the  border  lon- 
ger than  it  will  take  us  to  reach  the  ground  and 
drive  them  over."  The  Charleston  Mercury  at 
the  same  time  exclaimed  :  "The  miserable  fa- 
natics and  charlatans  at  Washington  are  pur- 
suing the  very  course  of  policy  we  most  earn- 
estly desire  them  to  pursue."  The  Charleston 
Mercury  now  says:  "Our  paper  is  suspended 
with  a  view  to  its  temporary  removal  to  another 
point.  This  is  rendered  necessary  by  the  prog- 
ress of  military  events." 

In  such  a  wild  yell  of  contempt  for  freemen 
this  rebellion  against  a  popular  government  be- 
gan.    By  such  passionate  falsehoods  and  ap- 


lliey   have 

shot  was  fired.  The  exposure  of  this  enormous 
deceit  is  part  of  the  true  victory  of  Sherman. 
He  subdues  the  mind  of  the  rebellious  section 
by  enlightening  it.  The  people  of  the  South, 
sedulously  kept  in  ignorance  both  of  the  charac- 
ter and  spirit  of  the  people  of  the  North  by  these 
miserable  leaders,  will  learn  first  to  respect 
Northern  valor  and  persistence,  and  then  to  es- 
timate and  esteem  Northern  intelligence.    They 

Northern  heart ;  that  it  is  fixed  only,  but  fixed 
immutably  and  forever,  upon  Union  and  Liber- 
ty, and  they  will  see  that  their  own  happiness  as 
well  as  the  national  glory  are  inseparable  from

ind  heroic  devotion  of  which  we  have 
r  long  yenrs  the  loud  bluster,  it  was  in 
where  four  years  ngo  men  mid  women 
age  crowded  balconies,  housetops,  and 
;  to  watch  exulting  traitors  firing  upon 
•    eurrisou  of  S ler,  win  we  'icady  eu- 


i  typified  that  of  the  nation  that  placed 


years  ago.  The  spectators  cheered  and  wept 
for  joy,  and  the  merry  bells  rang,  when  the  flag 
of  their  country  fell  for  the  first  time,  shot  down 
by  its  own  children.  Did  the  spectators  of  that 
day  remember  it  when  at  last  that  flag  returned 
triumphant?  Over  how  much  bitter  agony, 
through  what  seas  of  costly  blood,  across  what 
blighted  hopes  and  ruined  lives  it  returned; 
but  also  over  the  desolation  of  Carolinian  homes 
which  Carolina  has  wrought;  over  the  wide 
waste  of  fortunes  which  Carolina  has  destroyed  • 
over  the  treacherous  doctrine  of  State  suprema- 
cy which  Carolina  has  hugged  snake-like  to  her 
breast  j  over  the  relics  of  slavery  which  Caro- 
lina has  abolished.  The  old  flag  returns.  Peace, 
union,  and  prosperity  are  the  benedictions  it  im- 
parts. Those  who  see  its  coming,  those  who 
have  hated  it  as  the  symbol  of  equal  rights  and 
universal  justice  and  popular  government,  those 
who  have  fostered  this  huge  monster  of  rebel- 
lion until  now  it  turns  and  rends  them,  may 
flout  and  refuse  its  blessings.  But  the  people 
whom  they  have  fooled  ;  the  people  whom  they 
have  kept  ignorant,  degraded,  and  prejudiced ; 
the  people  of  whose  political  lights  that  flag  is 
the  symbol,  will  gradually  hail  it  as  benighted 
outcasts  hail  the  dawn. 

The  fall  of  Charleston  can  bringno  exultation 
to  any  loyal  citizen.  It  has  been  considered, 
indeed,  the  special  seat  of  rebellion.  It  has  al- 
ways been  a  nursery  of  treason.  Its  "society" 
has  been  held  to  be  peculiarly  aristocratic.  It 
has  led  Newport  and  Saratoga  by  the  nose.  Its 
swagger  has  passed  for  elegance ;  its  insolence 
for  ease.  Men  who  were  not  enough  redeemed 
from  barbarism  to  honor  men  as  men,  and  who 
with  the  kings  of  wild  Africa  sold  human  beings 
for  money,  were  acconnted  "gentlemen"  in 
Broadway  and  in  the  shadow  of  Bunker  Hill. 
But  that  illusion  is  long  since  dissolved;  and 
the  ignoble  fall  of  the  little  Corinth  of  their 
pride  merely  shows  how  poor  is  their  manhood 
who  in  this  day  and  country  despise  men,  and 
how  contemptible  is  the  "chivalry"  that  will 
not  die  for  what  it  calls  its  dearest  honor. 

We  shall  hear,  perhaps,  from  Richmond,  as 
we  heard  whenVicksburg,  Atlanta,  and  Savan- 
nah fell,  that  it  is  of  no  importance;  that  the 
rebellion  is  really  stronger  without  Columbia 
and  Charleston.  But  if  in  its  chief  cities,  in  its 
territories,  and  in  its  population,  we  are  not  to 
look  for  "  the  Confederacy,"  where  shall  we  find 
it  ?  In  the  gloomy  will  of  Davis  ;  in  the  hol- 
low rhetoric  of  Benjamin  ;  in  the  sharp  shrieks 
of  the  rebel  press  ; — where  else? 


OFFICE-HOLDING. 

Mr.  Wilson  has  introduced  a  I 
United  States  Senate  recommendinf 
ence  in  appointment  to  civil  office  o 
discharged    soldiers    and    sailors   who   shall 
found  competent ;  and  Mr.  Gleason  has  m: 
a  similar  proposition  in  the  State  Senate  of  New 
York.     The  report  which  accoin 
son's  bill  states  the  prayer  of  many  petitions  to 
be  that  the  tenure  of  office  may  be  for  life  or 
good  behavior. 

The  wisdom  of  the  selection  of  a  special 
for  preference  in  the  public  service  may  be  fairly 
disputed.     That  any  class  should  " 
to  feel  a  right  to  office  and  a  consequent  right  to 
"  '    may  very  easily  prove  to  he 


patriotic  than  many 
and  many  who  have  not ;  and  the  tendency. of 
such  discrimination  is  to  a  kind  of  jealousy 
which  is  always  better  avoided  if  possible. 

The  feeling  of  respect  and  sympathy  for  the 
soldiers  and  sailors  from  which  the  proposal 
springs  is  genuine  and  honorable.  It  is,  in- 
deed, universal.     The  feeling  of 


ward  its  army  and  navy  i 


in  large  part  the  nation  itself  volunteering. 
every  way  the  tender  solicitude  of  the  country 
has  been  expressed,  and  it  will  continue  to  be 


equally  be  attained  without  it,  while  the  advant- 
age derived  by  such  an  expression  by  Congress 
of  respect  and  gratitude  to  the  army  and  navy 
is  destroyed  by  the  mischief  of  an  expression  of 
Congressional  preference  for  a  class.  It  is  pre- 
cisely one  of  those  things  which  should  be  left 
to  the  sympathy  and  good  sense  of  the  country. 
They  may  he  fully  trusted.  The  honorably  dis-

see  made  in  regard  to  all  ministerial  offices,  and 
enforced  by  law.  The  inconveniences  and  perils 
of  the  national  elections  would  be  in  large  part 
removed,  if  every  department  of  the  administra- 
tion were  not  pulled  up  by  the  ronls  every  four 
years.  The  utter  demoralization  springing  from 
our  foolish  whim  of  rotation  in  office  is  known 


to  every  man.  The  consequence  of  the  system 
is  that  the  most  practical  of  people  renounce 
their  common  sense  in  dealing  with  the  most 
important  affairs.  No  merchant  would  think 
of  making  a  man  his  book-keeper  because  he 
was  a  clever  blacksmith,  nor  intrust  a  moment- 
ous suit  at  law  to  a  good  physician.  If  a  suc- 
cessful trader  wishes  a  captain  for  his  ship,  he 
requires  knowledge,  seamanship,  experience.  If 
a  gentleman  hires  a  gardener,  he  expects  famil- 
iarity with  plants,  hot-houses,  and  soils.  No 
man  would  employ  a  coachman  who  did  not  un- 
derstand how  to  take  charge  of  horses— and 
yet  the  same  man  would  recommend  an  appli- 
cant to  a  public  office  who  was  as  unfit  for  it  as 
a  man  who  only  speaks  Chinese  to  teach  an 
infant  school  in  New  York. 

The  money  that  would  be  saved  to  the  people; 
the  greater  ease  and  method  and  puntuality  with 
which  the  public  work  would  be  done ;  the  dan- 
gers that  would  disappear  from  elections ;  the 
deeper  and  more  permanent  repose  which  would 
be  imparted  to  the  national  character  by  a  sim- 
ple reform  like  this  is  incalculable. 

Nor  was  there  ever  a  more  favorable  moment 
for  beginning  the  change  of  system  than  this. 
The  President  has  been  re-elected  not  by  a 
party  but  by  the  country.  The  ordinary  party 
reasons  for  the  disastrous  custom  do  not  exist. 
The  holders  of  office  are  as  good  friends  of  the 
policy  of  the  Administration  as  those  Who  are 
not.  And  if  the  only  changes  after  the  4th  of 
March  should  he  those  resulting  from  resigna- 
tions, from  dishonesty,  di.-luvaltv,  or  uujapxeii-y,

"FILL  UP  THE  ARMY." 

"Hasten  on  recruiting  to  fill  up  the  army," 
telegraphs  Secretary  Stanton  to  Governor  Fen- 
ton,  "and  the  rebellion  must  receive  the  final 
blow  in  this  spring's  campaign." 

This  call,  with  the  rebel  General  Lee's  offi- 
cial wail  against  despondency,  should  be  enough 
to  give  General  Grant  the  hundred  thousand 
men  for  whom  he  asks  to  overthrow  the  military 
force  of  the  rebellion. 

Indeed..  10  the  ica-f  -  a  le.-oine  observer  the  sit- 
uation can  not  seem  very  unpromising.  The 
whole  Southwest  is  paralyzed.  Sherman  is  ap-

cumnavigation of  the  rebellion,  and  Lee  can

Why  should  they  not  be  exhausted? "  Their

Benjamin  and  Davis,  and  the  rest,  who  now  SO' 
desperately  fan  the  expiring  flame  of  ignorant

luded  the  people  of  the  Southern  States  into  a 
war  in  which  they  have  been  every  where  baf- 
fled. Every  promise  made  to  them  has  been 
broken.  Every  hope  which  allured  them  has 
been  disappointed.  Every  vision  of  independ- 
ence, of  recognition,  of  prosperity,  has  faded  ut- 
terly away.  Like  men  dragged  with  poisoned 
wine  who  have  been  seduced  into  enlisting,  and 
who  have  recovered  to  find  themselves  wretched, 
their  families  outcast,  their  homes  destroyed,  so 
the  people  of  the  Southern  States  were  inflamed 
with  falsehoods  against  the  Government,  the 
Union,  and  their  Northern  fellow-citizens,  and 
are  now  awaking  to  discover  how  wantonly  they 
have  been  deceived,  and  how  terribly  they  are

Supreme  good  sense  is  always  the  doing  the 
best  thing  under  the  circumstances.  Thus  the 
Metropolitan  police  in  the  city  of  New  York  is 
not  tlit'orotionlly  according  to  the  popular  sys- 
tem, which  allows  every  community  to  take  care 
of  its  own  ordinary  police.  But  no  man  in  his 
senses  would  wish  to  return  to  the  old  system. 
It  is  an  exceptional  departure  from  the  general 
law  justified  by  circumstances.  Nor  is  it  very 
difficult  to  find  a  similar  solution  for  General

slaves  who  followed  his  army  in  the  march 
through  Georgia  were  evidently  no  enemies  of

population  from  another.  For  the  present  he 
is  the  virtual  dictator,  under  the  Government, 
of  the  section  in  which  he  is  operating.  His 
means  are  brute  force.  War,  as  he  says,  is 
cruel.  It  is  arbitrary.  But  fortunately  it  is 
temporary.  It  is  a  very  unnecessary  labor  to 
fall  upon  his  order  and  rend  it  as  inhuman  and 
antiquated  and  aiming  at  an  impossible  separa- 
tion. It  is  a  wise  expedient,  like  many  of  Gen- 
eral Butler's  acts  in  New  Orleans. 

Should  Congress  finally  agree  upon  a  Freed- 
man's  bill,  the  whole  subject  will  be  at  once  re- 
moved from  the  operation  of  any  military  order. 
And  the  object  of  such  a  bill  will  be  to  secure

over,  my  name  is  not  Jael,  but  ilary — Mary  Arden. " 
"Miss  Arden,  Dr.  Mahon  at  your  service,"  re- 
sponded Tom,  as  if  going  through  with  an  intro- 

Miss  Arden  smiled,  but  instantly  sobered  again, 
as  if  mirth  jarred  on  her  humor.     The  train  jolted 

rily,  wearing  itself  out  into  twilight.     It  was  dark 
-when  "Chattanooga"  sounded  hoarsely  through  the 

Miss  Arden  had  spoken  of  a  "quiet  home,"  and 
Graham  saw  it  in  vision:  an  old  house  slumbering 
somewhere  in  the  suburbs  of  Chattanooga,  dimly 
lighted,  faintly  echoing  slippered  footsteps  of  that 
soft,  gliding,  low-voiced,  vounger  sister,  whom  she 
bad  called  Alice.  Miss  Arden's  dwelling,  in  its 
bold,  tall,  square  reality,  stood,  with  an  evident 
sense  of  its  dignity,  among  the  more  imposing  build- 
"  roadtiareof  light  -treain- 


ows,  flooding  the  gravel 


of  roses ;  and  in  the  drawing-room  was  not  only  the 
sparkle  of  mirror  and  gleam  of  vase  and  cornice, 
but  sparkle  and  gleam  of  epaulet  and  sword  hilt 
also— a  Colonel,  a  Captain,  and  two  Lieutenants  in 
full  uniform.  Graham  saw,  but  too  late  to  draw 
back.  He  was  in  full  view  of  the  drawing-room 
and  the  maroon  sofa,  with  it.-  gorgeous  sitters.  To 
go  forward  looked  like  sure  destruction  in  the  long- 
run;  to  go  back  was  destruction.  Hot  heart  bound- 
ed up  in  the  tierce  resolve  to  sell  his  life  dearly; 
brain  counseled  coolly,  "Wait  till  worst  comes." 
Turning  on  Miss  Arden  he  grated  a  single  fierce 
whisper  in  her  ear,  "Jael!"     She  pressed  his  hand 

"My  cousin,  Dr.  Graham;  Colonel  Lightwood, 
Captain  Allen,  Lieutenant  Sparke,  Lieutenant  Ran- 
ger. Alice,  he  has  grown  almost  out  of  recollec- 
tion ;  but  have  you  quite  forgotten  Cousin  Tom?" 

Graham  bowed,  grimly.  The  Colonel,  the  Cap- 
tain, and  the  two  Lieutenants  returned  the  saluta- 

gentlenv

self hesitated  an  instant,  her  eyes  on  her  sister,  not 
the  new-comer,  and  Tom  recalled  his  portrait  of  a 
pallid,  willowy,  sighing  Alice.  This  Alice  was  a 
flattered,  softened,  glowing  copy  of  her  sister ;  glow- 
ing not  in  color— she  had  hardly  as  much  as  reddens 
a  delicate  sea-shell  in  her  cheek— but  with  that  sort

having  yielded  the  great  point,  did  not  show  fight

ed the  sacrifice  of  his  mustache.  Tom  hinted  that 
old  ladies  occasionally  sported  something  of  the  sort. 
She  fired  at  once:  "Not  such  ugly  ones,  Sir."  Then 
it  was  discovered  that  they  had  been  up  since  three 
in  the  morning  piecing  together  two  old  calico 
gowns  and  a  couple  of  quilts,  because  over  his  long 
legs  a  skirt,  as  they  called  it,  came  ridiculously 
short  of  the  floor.  They  stuffed  him  back  and  front 
with  two  dolls'  pillows,  a  pillow-case,  several  pairs 
of  stockings,  a  towel,  and  a  flannel  petticoat;  they 
brought  his  waist  well  up  under  his  arms;  they  yot 
his  hands  into  mitts,  put  on  him  a  collar  broad 
enough  for  a  main-sail,  chalked  his  eyebrows,  paint- 
ed wrinkles  on  his  cheeks, 
plaster  over  his  front  teeth,  adorned 
cropped  head  with  their  mother's  wig,  tied  on  over 
that  a  frilled  nightcap,  and  above  that  a  huge  bon- 
net and  veil,  and  finally  wrapped  him  in  a  cloak 
that  concealed  the  gown  piecing,  and  pronounced 
him  ready — ready,  but  Miss  Arden  was  not;  some- 
thing held  her  fast  to  the  spot. 

"  God  bless  you !"  she  said  at  last.  "  The  Lord 
Almighty  have  you  in  keeping,  and  bring  you  safe 
to  your  mother,  to  liberty,  and  the  flag  that  we  all

Jake  L'uficrgood  and  [lis  wagon  were  at  tile  door. 
"  Be  careful  of  your  aunt,  Jake,"  said  Miss  Ar- 
den as  he  helped  Tom  into  the  wagon;  "and  Mrs. 

tion  of  your  years,  not  to  bounce  into  wagons  like 
a  young  kid ;"  for  Tom  had  cleared  the  wheel  at  a 
single  step,  to  the  manifest  astonishment  of  Colonel 
Lightwood,  who,  most  inopportunely  passing,  had 

halted  and  was  euriou-ly  taking  notes. 

"Good-by,"  cried  Alice.      "Look  well  to  your- 


Tho  words  were  drowned  in  the  clatter  of  the 
crazy  vehicle,  as  the  gaunt,  loan-ribbed  horses  start- 
ed off  on  a  floundering  gallop,  which  soon  subsided, 
however,  into  their  ordinary  pace  of  two  miles  an 
hour.  The  farm  utensils  on  the  wagon-bottom 
clattered  and  banged  together,  the  various  baskets 
and  bundles  bounced  about  uneasily.  The  fanner, 
nearly  double  on  his  seat,  seemed  taking  a  nap. 
"Mrs.  Buttergood"  beside  him  heaved  a  little  sigh 
(for  he  was  somewhat  sore  at  heart  when  he  thought 

and  swore  alternately  at  the  slowness  of  their  pace 
and  the  woman's  gear,  that  ripped  and  split  at  ev- 
ery move.  At  last  they  found  themselves  fairly 
out  of  the  streets,  past  the  last  guard,  and  with  the 
open  country  lying  free  before  them. 

"  1  reckon,"  said  Jake,  laying  on  the  whip,  "we

Meanwhile  Colonel  Lightwood  came  1<

During  this  harangue  and  the  preliminary  dis-

muttering,  "Dum  'em!  wull  he  set  thar  loike  a

came  back  with  him  in  tow,  but  looking  crest-fall- 
en.    The  ferryman  positively  refused  to  cross. 

"Orders  is  to  ferry  no  one,  not  a  dum  one,  and

a  little  staggered  by  this  old  lady,  who  broke  in  on 
the  conversation  in  a  deep  bass  voice.

About  half  a  mile  from  the  village  of  Poaktown, 
facing  the  high-road  to  Balston,  and  separated  from 
the  river  Poak  by  a  small  garden  and  a  belt  of 
trees,  is  a  long,  low  cottage,  known  in  the  neighbor-

pearance a  very  difficult  one  for  the  Captain  to  pay. 
He  was  dunned,  and  legal  proceedings  were  threal- 
ened,  but  all  attempts  to  get  money  were  only  met 
by  civil  excuses.  The  patience  of  his  creditors  was 
nearly  exhausted,  when  one  day  a  circular  letter 
was  sent  to  them,  appointing  a  meeting  for  twelve 
o'clock  on  the  following  Monday.  :' when,''  Ok- Ob- 
tain wrote,  "  ho  would  satisfy  all  claims,  as  a  leg- 
acy luft  by  n  distant  relation  had  been  paid  in  to

On  Saturday  the  Captain  walked  into  Poaktown, 
and  hired  a  gig  at  the  King's  Arms  to  take  him 
to  Balston.  Johnny  Wilson,  the  landlord's  son, 
drove  him  to  the  bank  at  Balston,  where  he  staid 
about  ton  minutes,  and  came  out  at  the  end  of  that 

fat-looking  pocket-book.  Johnny  then  waited  for 
him  while  he  made  a  few  purchases  in  the  town, 
and  then  drove  him  straight  home  to  the  "build-

London,  and  an  answer  bad  boon  received, 
that  the  police  were  on  the  murderer's  truck, 
that,  to  make  all  safe,  a  detective  would 
town  by  tho  middle  of  tho  day. 

Marv  Edgecombe,  who  bad  partially  recovered 
from  bcr  fright,  was  now  taken  to  the  building. 
She  identified  I  lie  clasp-knife,  pocket-book,  and  va- 
rious articles  of  clothing  which  were  lying  about 
the  Captain's  room  as  belonging  to  him.  She  stated 
that  she  had  gone  to  bed  at  nine  o'clock  on  the  pre- 
vious night ;  that  the  Captain  was  then  still  in  the 
sitting-room ;  and  that  she  had  heard  no  noise  dur- 
ing tho  night.  She  was  positive  that  no  one  was 
in  the  house  when  she  went  to  bed  except  herself 
and  the  Captain.  But  the  garden  door  was  often 
left  unlocked,  and  could  then  be  opeucd  from  tho 
outside.  The  inspector  was  satisfied.  The  motive 
was  clear  enough ;  the  police  were  close  upon  the

He  turned  to  the  river,  pleased  at  the  promptness 
and  energy  he  had  shown,  and  chuckling  to  think 
that  the  London  detective  would  find  nothing  to  do 
when  he  did  arrive.  The  drags  had  now  been  at 
work  for  some  time,  but  without  success.  The  river 
had  been  dragged  up  and  down,  and  sidewise  and 

had  been  found.     The  inspector  was  getting  impa-

an  elderly  doclor,  of  small  practice,  slowly  dimin-

whose  few  inhabitants  live  upon  any  thing  and  do

commonly  called  Uncle  Adam,  probably  for  the  ex-

therefore  to  every  body,  including  these  charming 
girls  who  had  now  made  a  raid  upon  me.  So  happy, 
laughing,  loving,  were  they ;  full  of  admiration  of 
all  thev  saw — Uncle  Adam's  house  and  garden,  Un-

when  I  visited  him  she  had  brought  lint  and  rags 
and  helped  me  to  tie  up  his  sore  hand.  Over  this 
hand  his  father  was  exceedingly  anxious,  because 
every  day's  loss  of  performance  was  a  loss  to  the 
treasury.  This  was  the  first  day  of  the  Signor's 
reappearance,  and  the  circus  was  full  to  the  roof. 

Popularity  is  seldom  without  a  reason,  and  I  do 
not  deny  that  the  flying  trapeze  is  a  very  curious 
and  even  beautiful  sight.  In  this  case  the  ex- 
treme grace  of  the  performer  added  to  its  charm. 
He  mounted,  agile  as  a  deer,  the  high  platform  at 
the  end  of  the  circus,  and  swung  himself  oil  by  the 
elastic  ropes,  clinging  only  with  bis  hands,  his  feet 
extended,  lite  one  of  the  floating  figures  in  pic-

times,  each  time  with  some  slight  variation,  and 
more  gracefully  than  the  last,  followed  by  a  low

THE  FOURTH  OF  MAECH. 

ON  this  day  President  Lincoln  enters  upon 
his  second  term  amidst  the  benedictions  of 
the  loyal  citizens  of  the  United  States.  No  man 
in  any  office  at  any  period  of  our  history  has 
been  so  tried  as  he,  and  no  man  has  ever  shown 
himself  more  faithful  to  a  great  duty.  His  tem- 
perament, his  singular  sagacity,  hia  inflexible 
honesty,  his  patient  persistence,  his  clear  com- 
prehension of  the  scope  of  the  war  and  of  the 
character  and  purpose  of  the  American  people, 
have  not  only  enabled  him  to  guide  the  country 
safely  in  its  most  perilous  hour,  but  have  en- 
deared him  forever  to  the  popular  heart. 

Party  hate  has  dashed  itself  to  pieces  against 
his  spotless  patriotism.  Friendly  impatience  has 
long  since  hushed  its  hot  criticism.  Foreign 
ekepticism  and  affected  contempt  at  length  rec- 
ognize in  him  a  purely  characteristic  representa- 
tive of  that  America  which  conquers  by  good 
sense  and  moral  fidelity.  The  history  of  the 
first  term  of  his  administration  is  the  story  of  a 
desperate  and  prodigious  civil  war  waged  over 
a  continent,  and  revealing  the  unprecedented 
!"■■':  "i  ;i  '  *"i.  i  iim.  n.;  v..' i  unkd  upon  the- popu- 
lar will. 

Such  a  war  necessarily  clothes  the  chief  ex- 
ecutive magistrate  with  extraordinary  power. 
Yet  it  is  the  most  significant  tribute  to  the  char- 
acter of  Mr.  Lincoln  that  his  exercise  of  that 
power  has  been  so  temperate  and  so  purely  pa- 
parties  crumble  away,  and  he  is  continued  in 
his  high  office  by  the  hearty  confidence  of  the 
vast  body  of  the  people. 

And  that  he  is  to-day  inaugurated  amidst  uni- 
versal applause,  that  the  nation  has  not  been 
deluded  by  the  vehement  party  assaults  which 
every  civil  war  makes  so  practicable  and  spe- 

just  and  faithful,  is  the  noblest  proof  of  the  truly 
conservative  character  of  that  popular  Govern- 


AT  THE  CONFESSIONAL. 

Wa  commend  to  our  Copperhead  friends,  who 
have  always  sneered  at  the  policy  of  enlisting 
colored  soldiers,  the  report  prepared  by  an  '  " 
jutant  of  General  Lee's.  Now  that  the  rebels 
concede  the  valor  und  value  of  such  troops  their 


allies  at  the  North  will  agree  that  they  are  mosl 
excellent  material  for  an  army.     Fort  Wagner, 
Milliken's  Bend,  Port  Hudson,  and  every  fielc 
upon  which  black  troops  have  fought, 
prove  their  bravery  mul  ^-■■ii-f-,.- ;  im 
of  Lee's  Adjutant  will  doubtless  convince  th 
win.  Iiavc  iu-viT  lni.l  ;hi;v  opinions  until  they 
ceived  them  from  slave-drivers. 

The  paper  of  which  we  speak  cites  the  c 
duct  of  the  colored  soldiers  in  our  army,  as  v 
as  the  experience  of  every  nation  by  which  they 
"    as  proof  of   '    ' 


The  plan  proposes  to  give  immediate  freedom 
to  those  who  do  best,  not  the  promise  of  freedom 
at  the  end  of  the  war  to  all  who  fight.  This  is 
offered  as  the  highest  conceivable  incitement  to 
bravery  and  fidelity.  But  how  can  it  be  so  if 
the  blacks  were  made  for  slaves,  and  are  happy 
and  contented  in  that  condition?  What  kind 
of  an  incitement  would  it  be  to  an  ox  to  tell  him 
that  if  he  moved  fast  he  should  be  thrown  into 
the  river  at  night  ?  How  would  a  fish  be  stimu- 
lated by  the  promise  of  being  laid  in  a  clover 
pasture  ? 

Again,  the  plan  argues  elaborately  to  show 
that  a  soldier  does  not  think ;  that  an  army  is 
a  machine;  that  discipline  makes  a  man  fight 
equally  well  upon  any  side.  But  what  is  the 
point  of  the  argument?  Slavery  being  the  di- 
vine appointment  for  all  men  of  African  descent, 
and  being  also  the  most  delightful  position  for 
them,  why  rely  upon  discipline  to  prevent  their 
thinking?  The  more  they  think  they  are  fight- 
ing to  perpetuate  their  bondage  the  more  hero- 
ically they  will  behave,  if  it  be  true  that  they 

Since  this  debate  was  opened  among  the 
rebels,  every  word  they  say  has  convicted  them 
of  the  consciousness  of  the  foul  injustice  of  slav- 
ery. It  disproves  every  thing  they  have  assert- 
ed about  the  colored  race  ;  and  how  thoroughly 


colored 


What  say-  B]-1m> 
Hopkins  to  this  flying  in  the  face  of  Provi- 
dence? What  says  the  Eeverend  Mi-.  Van 
Dtck  to  this  departure  from  the  divine  ordina- 
tion ?  What  have  become  of  the  curse  upon 
Ham,  and  the  conclusive  precedent  of  Onesi- 
mds?  Whither  has  disappeared  the  divine 
purpose  indicated  in  heels  and  shin-bones? 
The  whole  ghastly  imposture  collapses  before 
the  dire  necessity  of  facts.  They  are  as  good 
men  as  we  are,  if  they  will  only  fight  for  us, 
cry  the  pale  rebel  chiefs  as  they  feel  the  wind 
rushing  before  the  coming  of  Sherman. 

Meanwhile  let  the  gentle  Copperheads  ponder 
one  question.  If  the  slave-lords  confess  that 
their  chattels  are  fit  to  be  free,  how  long  will  it 
be  before  the  good  sense  of  the  country  declares 
that  they  are  fit  to  vote? 


EECONSTEUCTION. 

It  is  remarkable  that  one  of  the  most  import- 
ant questions  of  the  war  was  lately  decided  for 
the  present  in  Congress  by  nn  extremely  close 
vote,  and  almost  without  exciting  public  atten- 
tion. The  bill  for  reconstruction,  involving  the 
very  consequences  of  the  war,  was  lost  by  a  ma- 
jority (..!'  five  or  six. 

There  is  certainly  no  subject  upon  which  the 
public  mind  should  be  more  fully  enlightened 
before  legislative  action  than  this,  and  therefore 
we  can  not  regret  the  present  postponement  of 
which  gives  the  country  time 


One  thing  is  clear.  Whatever  the  Bpecial 
terms  of  any  system  of  restoration  may  be,  and 
whether  there  be  one  law  covering  all  cases 
or  not,  yet  the  essential  point  must  be  the  se- 
curity of  peace.  No  mere  theory  of  the  Consti- 
tution will  suffice.  The  practical  point  is  that 
the  nation,  after  the  tremendous  struggle  for  its 
life,  shall  tnke  care  that  it  does  not  yield  to 
political  arts  what  arms  have  not  been  able  to 

Fernando  Wood  giveB  us  the  rebel  theory 
of  solving  the  question.  "Congress  has  no 
make  conditions  on  which  a  State  may 
ts  position  in  the  Union.  Whenever 
the  people  of  a  State  shall  lay  down  their  arms 
and  recognize  tbeFederal  Constitution  and  laws, 
and  send  representatives  to  Congress,  I  should 
like  to  see  the  power  which  would  prevent  the 
return  of  those  States. "  Here  wo  have  the  rebel 
view  of  the  matter,  and  Fernando  Wood  hav- 
ing said  what  he  thinks  we  should  do,  every 
loyal  American  citizen  knows   exactly  what 


This  ib  a  point  which  can  not-  ho 

oaths,  but  by  experience.     The  i 

must  decide  what  tests  to  employ.     It  is  not 

bound  to  remove  its  troops  from  a  region  full 

of  rebels,  nor  is  it  to  assume  that  they  are  loyal 

sional  Governors  will  be  of  necessity  appointed. 
They  hold  by  the  national  authority.     They 


)  people  to  an  election, 


who  shall  vote  and  under  what  conditions.   This 
or  anarchy  is  the  alternative. 

In  any  system  of  restoration  whatever,  which 
contemplates  permanent  order  and  actual  quiet, 
the  national  Government  takes  the  initiative, 
and  holds  the  State  until  it  is  satisfied  that  with 
perfect  safety  to  the  country  its  hold  may  be  re- 
laxed. The  practical  question  is,  therefore, 
what  tests  are  satisfactory.  Is  it  enough  that 
the  voters  swear  allegiance  to  the  Government  ? 
Is  it  enough  that  emancipation  be  accepted  by 
the  State  Legislatures?  Is  it  necessary  to  dis- 
franchise certain   classes?     Is  it  necessary  to 

may  be  decided  upon  these 
paramount— the  national  safe- 
ty ;  and  the  whole  movement  proceeds  by  one 
authority,  that  of  the  nation.  Of  course  it  is  ex- 
ceptional. Of  course  it  is  abnormal.  Of  course 
it  would  be  absurd  to  say  that  in  a  time  of  pro- 
found peace  the  nation 
together  supersede  the 
course  it  would  be  still  more  absurd 
that  in  the  settlement  of  this  civil  war  it  could 
not.  The  engrossing  consideration  now  is  na- 
tional safety,  not  State  rights.  To  insure  the 
tranquil  operation  of  the  States  in  their  spheres 
hereafter,  it  is  necessary  to  adjust  them  by  the 
national  authority  now.     The  loyal  citizens  of 


the  national  Government  will  justly  do  what- 
ever the  vital  necessity  of  the  case,  not  State 
t  necessity  the 


precedent,  demands. 


The  bill  reported  by  Mr.  Ashley  was  lost, 
as  we  understand,  for  two  reasons.  The  Oppo- 
sition voted  against  it  as  nn  unconstitutional  in- 
vasion of  State  rights,  and  some  friends  of  the 
Administration  because  they  did  not  like  its 
terms.  The  bill  seemed  to  some  of  these  last 
too  sweeping  in  disfranchisement,  and  to  others 
unjust  because  it  did  not  allow  the  black  popu- 
lation to  vote.  Consequently  so  radical  a  Union 
man  as  Mr.  Julian,  of  Indiana,  was  found  vot- 
ing upon  the  same  side  with  Fernando  Wood. 
There  is  a  similar  anomaly  in  the  Senate,  where 
Mr.  Sumner  and  Mr.  Powell,  of  Kentucky, 
both  oppose  the  Louisiana  bill.     Mr.  Powell, 

ie   n:iii'->n;i.l  iimherity.  and  Mr. 


ored  populate 


from  the  polls. 
We  are  glad  that  the  present  defeat  of  the 
bill  enables  us  all  to  consider  the  subject  more 
maturely.  The  principle  of  such  a  bill  is  be- 
yond debate.  Congress  would  be  treacherous 
or  imbecile  if  it  did  not  provide  for  the  inevita- 
ble emergency.  Public  opinion  must  now  indi- 
cate what  terms  the  bill  shall  prescribe. 


THE  FATE  OF  THE  REBELS. 
It  is  a  common  remark  that  the  wounds  in-

and  unfortunately  illustrated  it  by  the  English 
of  Charles  Second — unfortunately, 
Cjiaklls's  reign  was  one  long  act  of 
ti  his  brother  James  continued, 
until  the  nation  rose  again  and  expelled  the 
SirMRTS  forever. 

The  truth  is,  that  such  wounds  do  not  and 
can  not  heal  quickly.  The  English  civil 
began  in  1642;  and  in  1745  the  Jacobi 
arms  again.  The  reasons  are  obvious;  and 
equally  obvious  are  the  reasons  why,  in  this 
country,  we  should  bo  as  gentle  and  humane  in 
our  feelings  toward  the  rebels,  and  in  our  treat- 
ment of  them,  as  firmness  of  purpose  and  secur- 


ing upon  the  part  of  the  loyal  nation  since  the 
war  began;  and  altlionu-h  i)..-  IV.--  i-h-m  lui-  lux-n

hatred  or  anger  the  public  mind  is. 

This  disposition  will  deepen 
victory,  and  the  danger  is  no 
punish  too  relentlessly,  but  that 
peril  the  result  which 
Magnanimity  is  neithe:

devoted  every  power  and  opportunity  to  confus-

and  to  corrupting  the  fundamental  principles 
of  the  Government.    To  this  end  they  appealed

would  compel  the  quaking  nation  to  terrified

safely  forgotten.  Those  leaders  are  to  be  re- 
membered not  for  the  blood  of  the  war,  not  for 
the  young  and  noble  of  every  section  of  the 
country  whom  they  have  sacrificed,  not  for  the 
broken  hearts  and  wasted  homes  and  desolate 

purpose  which  made  the  war  inevitable.  The 
Earl  of  Stratford  did  more  than  any  single 
man  to  precipitate  the  struggle  between  Charles 
First  and  the  Parliament.  Strafford  was  exe- 
cuted before  a  drop  of  blood  was  shed.  But  no 
stndent  of  history  and  human  nature  can  right- 
fully condemn  the  extraordinary  act  bv  which 
he  fell. 

What  Strafford  was  willing  to  do  that  the 
rebel  leaders  have  done.  First  they  corrupted  the 
people  by  arts,  and  then  they  tried  to  overthrow 
the  Government  by  arms.  But  Strafford's 
punishment  would  be  inadequate  for 'them.  We 
neither  wish  nor  expect  to  see  a  single  capital 
execution  follow  the  war.  If  England  had  taken 
Napoleon  Bonaparte  to  the  Tower  and  shot 
him  at  midnight  in  a  ditch,  as  he  murdered  the 
Duke  D'Engh

not  be  hung  for  treason.  But  by  solemn  act  of 
Congress  he  should  be  individually  and  forever 
disfranchised  as  an  American  citizen,  and  then 
delivered  to  the  remembrance  of  the  country  he 
has  sought  first  to  debase  and  then  to  destroy. 

As  for  the  great  mass  of  the  people  in  the 
Southern  States,  they  have  always  been  taught 
by  their  leaders  to  hate  us,  and  they  have  learned 
the  lesson.  Only  time  and  constant  intercourse 
will  wear  away  that  feeling.  And  it  is  clearly 
the  duty  of  every  loyal  man  to  help  its  removal, 
not  by  any  twaddle  of  sentimentality  about '

On  the  22d  of

Is  the  Examiner  probably  any  wiser  on  the

why  does  it  say  in  another  article  in  the  sane 
number  that  "  the  progress  of  Sherman  through 
South  Carolina  almost  unopposed,  the  fall  of 
Columbia  without  the  slightest  resistance,  the 
swiftness  of  the  enemy's  movements,  and  the 
apparent  outgeneralship  of  the  Confederate  com- 
mander, has  created  very  serious  apprehensions 
on  the  part  of  the  public  as  to  the  military  con- 
dition in  that  State  ?"  But  why  so?  If,  as  the 
Eramincr  insists,  there  are  only  "graybeards, 
old  women,  and  little  children,"  left  in  the  State, 
why  should  not  Sherman's  progress  be  almost 
unopposed?  and  why  should  the  failure  of  gray-

LOSS  AND  GAIN. 

The  rebel  newspapers  in  Richmond  not  only 
profess  to  regard  the  recent  successes  of  the  na- 
tional arms  as  blessings  in  disguise,  but  they  in- 
sist that  it  is  a  fortunate  event  for  the  rebellion 
that  it  is  deprived  of  its  sea-ports.  Even  the 
\o~i  of  Wilmington  they  assert  will  merely  com- 
pel them  to  develop  their  own  resources. 

Let  us  take  them  at  their  word.  Let  us  con- 
cede that  it  is  an  advantage  to  the  rebellion  to 
be  shut  out  from  the  coast  entirely.  But  if  it 
be,  why  was  it  not  always  so  ?  And  if  it  were, 
then  the  holding  of  the  coast  has  been  a  military 
error.  Or  will  it  be  said  that  it  was  necessary 
to  hold  it  for  some  time  in  order  to  get  foreign 
supplies  of  arms,  and  that  now  having  enough 
they  can  safely  lose  it?  But  granting  this,  the 
ports  were  as  useful  for  sending  out  as  for  taking 
in.  The  expenses  of  the  rebel  war  must  be 
paid  in  some  way.  It  has  never  been  pretended 
they  could  be  paid  by  an  internal  tax.  The 
great  resource  is  cotton.  The  very  last  finan- 
cial plan  of  the  rebels  contemplates  the  sale  of 
"  Government  cotton  on  hand."  But  with  the 
ports  all  closed,  how  is  the  cotton  to  be  sold ! 
The  rebels  have  received  arms  and  supplies  from 
Europe,  and  their  foreign  loan  has  been  based 
upon  cotton.  The  closing  of  the  ports  cuts  off 
the  supply  of  cotton.  The  failure  of  the  cotton 
by  their  own  showing,  therefore,  spoils  their 
whole  financial  plan. 

But  there  is  another  view.  Look  at  the  port 
of  Wilmington  again.  The  rebels  inform  us 
that  it  is  no  disadvantage  to  them  to  lose  it. 
Suppose  that  we  grant  it.  Is  it  no  advantage 
to  us  to  gain  it  ?  That  is  a  consideration  for 
them  quite  as  important  as  the  other.  It  is  not 
a  question  to  argue.  The  map  settles  it.  Take 
the  situation  of  the  campaign.  See  what  Sher- 
man is  doing.  See  where  Grant  is.  Wilming- 
ton is  an  empty  shell,  shout  the  rebels.  But  do 
they  suppose  that  it  is  considered  valuable  to  us 
in  itself?  Wilmington  is  worthless  as  a  cap- 
ture, for  this  is  not  a  war  of  conquest  or  ag- 
grandizement in  the  usual  sense.  But  Wil- 
mington is  invaluable  as  a  base  for  a  great  army 
advancing  through  North  Carolina  and  co-oper- 
ating with  another  before  Richmond. 

Even  if  it  were  true  that  it  is  an  advantage 
for  the  rebellion  to  lose  it,  it  is  no  less  an  ad- 
vantage for  ns  to  gain  it.  And  the  moral  is  not 
less  than  the  military  advantage.     As  Dr.  Dra-

EXCHANGE  OP  PRISONERS. 

When  General  Grant  announced  that  the 

exchange  of  prisoners  was  now  left  entirely  to 

unjust  to  anv  soldier  that  defends  our  flag,  and 
we  are  therefore  not  surprised  to  read  in  a  late 
letter  from  City  Point  to  the  Herald  that  "  the

ten  ant-Colonel  Muxford  yesterday  among  a  lot 
of  white  soldiers.  If  left  to  act  unofficially  there 
is  no  (aestion  but  that  the  Confederate  authori- 
ties wil!  foully  exclmnge  negroes  for  white  men ; 
bur  if  eitllul  upon  to  recognize  the  rightful  status 
of  a  blacTs  soldier,  in  any  official  form  other  than 

,  .uey  will  probably  decb'no  to  do  so." 
action  of  the  rebels  is  taken  unquestionably  be- 
cause they  intend  to  put  colored  sol'licr;  ' 


SHERMAN'S  ACCURACY. 

the  day  before  Sherman  moved  from  Dal- 


Um     Ujliill     1 


through  Georgia,  a  gentle 
i  head-quarters  wrote,  "W_  go  to- 
You  will  hear  of  us  on  the  oast  at 
"  He  ate  his  Christmas  dii,.;  ■  in 
Savannah.  On  January  31st,  the  day  before 
the  present  movement  began,  the  same  gentle- 
man wrote,  "You  will  hear  of  us  in  three  weeks 
from  the  coast  of  North  Carolina."  On  the 
22d  of  February  Wilmington  was  evacuated,  and 
Sherman's  d 
of  Carolina. 


It  is  a  good  thing  for  the  public  when  a  good 
newspaper  falls  into  good  hands  :  and  therefore 
we  record  with  satisfaction  that  the  Philadelphia 
Ledger,  one  of  the  most  popular  journals  in  the 
country,  has  passed  from  the  hands  of  Mr. 
Swain,  originally  a  printer's  boy  and  the  found- 
er of  the  great  success  of  the  Ledger,  into  those 
of  the  well-known  publisher,  George  W. 
Childs. 

Mr.  Childs's  energy,  tenacity,  skill,  and 
practical  genius  have  been  conspicuously  dis- 
played as  a  publisher ;  and  his  shrewd  knowl- 
edge of  the  popular  taste,  and  of  the  conditions 
of  an  influential  journal,  will  heighten  the  singu- 
lar prosperity  of  the  Ledger.  His  unswerving 
patriotism  secures  the  fidelity  of  the  paper  to 
the  great  interests  which  are  at  stake  in  this 
war,  and  his  discreet  and  genial  temper  assure 
the  public  of  the  urbanity  with  which  all  opin- 
ions will  be  expressed.  The  business  circula- 
tion of  the  Ledger  is  immense.  Its  daily  issues 
are  not  less  than  seventy  thousand,  and  it  goes 
to  every  part  of  the  community.     We  cordially

i-manger  of  my  hotel,  the  Soleil-

eighteen,  sitting  working  at  a  window.  She  raised 
her  eyes  on  my  entrance,  then  dropped  them,  and 
continued  her  work,  without  further  noticing  my 
presence.  I  saw,  however,  that  she  was  very  pret- 
ty, with  regular  and  delicate  features.  On  inquir- 
ing of  my  hostess,  I  found  that  she  was  the  daugh-

"Why?  "said  I, 

"Because  I  intend  to  become  a  monk  of  La

"  My  dear  Ernest,"  paid  I,  "  I  am  perfectly  aware 
of  your  capacity  for  silence,  and  it  Es  a  precious  gift

"Come," said  I,  "  I  see  you  arc  not  yet  yourself. 
In  love  affairs  the  onlyem'e  is  Indifference:  you  are 
at  present  only  at  Despair." 

"  You  are  wrong,"  replied  Ernest.  "  I  have  thor- 
ough contempt  for  the  person  you  allude  to;  I  de- 
test all  women,  and  that  one  in  particular." 

I  usually  paid  my  visit  to  Ernest  between  eight 
and  nine  in  the  morning,  but  I  found  several  times 
that  he  had  risen  very  early,  and  had  already  had  a 
long  walk  when  I  got  there.  I  proposed,  therefore, 
!o  go  earlier  that  I  might  be  his  companion  on  those 
occasions ;  but  he  answered  me  evasively,  and  in 


his  reserve  piqued  my  curiosity,  it  was  chance  alone 
that  discovered  to  me  the  reason  for  it.  One  morn- 
ing I  arrived  at  his  house  a  little  earlier  than  usual, 
but  he  had  already  left;  and  on  walking  on  I  saw 
him,  within  gunshot,  crowing  the  fiekle.  I  hurried 
after  him ;  but  before  I  could  reach  him  he  had  dis- 
appeared into  a  little  cabin  thickly  shaded  with 
trees.  "  Ah  !"  thought  I,  "now  I  shall  catch  him 
up.  My  future  Trappist  has  probably  retired  there 
to  meditate  on  the  vanity  and  falsity  of  all  human 
affection."  But  tho  thought  had  scarcely  crossed 
my  mind,  when  I  perceived  the  flutter  of  female 
garments,  the  wearer  of  which  appeared  to  mo  to 


was  Ernest's.  My  curiosity  was  greatly  excited, 
and,  I  confess  it,  I  drew  close  and  peeped  between 
the  cracks  in  the  planks  of  the  cabin.  "What  was 
my  astonishment  to  discover  in  my  friend's  com- 
panion, Ursule,  the  daughter  of  Father  Monceau ! 
Now  I  have  a  horror  of  hypocrisy,  and  when  I  re- 
membered the  abuse  lavished  by  Ernest  upon  wo- 
men and  the  prudish  airs  of  Mdlle.  Ursule,  I  drew 
back  thoroughly  indignant  and  returned  to  my  hotel, 
determined  from  this  day  to  cease  my  visits  to  Ern- 
est, and  I  held  to  my  resolve.  A  few  days  after-' 
ward  another  little  circumstance  occurred  which  in- 
creased my  dislike  of  Ur.-ulo.  In  the  morning,  after 
bathing,  I  had  called  at  Father  Monceau's  cottage, 
not  having  seen  him  on  the  Kinds.     Hewasacapi- 


swimmer,  and,  in   his  professional  capacity.  I 
not  wish  to  lose  fright  of  him.      As  I  entered  the

but  he  kept  silence.  However,  I  was  determined 
to  make  him  speak. 

"Is  it  long  since  you  saw  Mdlle.  Ursule?"  I 

Ernest  lifted  his  head  and  quickly  answered, 
"Ah!  then  you  have  guessed  my  secret;  and  that

heard  from  my  guardian  that  Monceau  had  had  some 
little  share  in  the  ruin  of  my  father.  However, 
Ursule  began  to  talk  to  mo  of  old  times,  and  ap- 
peared to  remember  any  little  kindness  I  might  have 
shown  her  aB  a  child  with  so  much  joy  and  gratitude 
iiiat  my  heart  was  insensibly  touched,  and  I  soon 
found  myself  talking  to  her  as  affectionately  as  of 
old.  From  this  time  I  often  met  her,  and  gradu- 
ally learned  to  think  of  her  almost  as  a  little  sister. 
I  found  that  she  had  very  romantic  notions,  balanced, 
however,  by  strict  right-mindedness.  A  year  or  so 
had  passed,  when  she  one  day  confided  to  me  some- 
thing that  may  surprise  you,  skeptic,  but  which  did

like  me.  So  I  want  to  improve  myself,  and  to  studv 
to  become  a  governess.  Then,  perhaps,  ho  will  be 
touched  by  what  I  have  done,  and  will  marry  mo.* 
From  this  day  I  began  to  teach  Ursule,  who  made 
astonishing  progress.  She  has  the  courage"  of  a 
heroine.  Every  morning  she  used  to  go  to  tho  lit- 
tle cabin,  and  there  I  met  her,  and  did  my  best  in 
helping  the  development  of  her  mind.  During  the 
day  she  worked  hard  at  her  needle,  in  order  to  gather 
together  a  little  sum  for  her  marriage  portion.  I 
endeavored  to  make  her  accept  my  aid  ;  but  she  Was 
resolute  in  refusing.  'I  must  make  my  own  posi- 
tion myself,'  said  she.  'I  hope  he  will  like  me  the 
hotter  for  it.'  As  to  myself,  I  love  her  hopelossh  . 
She  has  every  good  quality  but  gratitude.  Would 
you  believe  that  sine,' the  lemons  havo  ceased  I  have 
not  heard  a  word  of  her?" 

Ernest's  voice  trembled  as  he  spoke.  At  this  mo- 
ment a  ring  at  the  bell  was  heard— a  timid,  hesi- 
tating, undecided  ring.  "It  is  she  1"  he  cried,  jump- 
ing up;  and  he  pushed  me  into  the  adjoining  room 
with  an  energy  of  which  I  should  have  thought  my 
future  Trappist  incapable.  He  went  to  open  the 
door,  and  then  I  heard  the  sweet  voice  of  Ursule 


the  silence  that  ensued.     In  these  cases  women  gen- 
erally appear  to  be  bolder  than  men,  in  reality  be- 

"  Monsieur  Ernest,"  said  Ursule,  "you  appear 
to  be  ill.  It  grieves  mo  to  see  you  so,  now  that  I 
am  bo  pleased  at.  having  succeeded." 

"At  all  events  you  are  happy,  Ursule,"  mur- 
mured Ernest,  hardly  knowing  what  he  said. 

"  Happy  ?      Not  yet,"  answered  Ursule. 

"And  /;-■  ;'"  said  Ernest,  after  a  pause. 

"Oh  !"  returned  she,  "I  begin  to  be  afraid  that, 
after  ..,11,   |u,  does  not  care  about  me." 

"  Is  it  possible  ?"  cried  Ernest,  almost  joyfully.

"With  Pet." 

"  Now,  Robert  1" 

Pet  was  our  name  for  the  sweet  girl.  Her  real 
name  was  Frances  du  Chaine.  Her  mother  was  an 
Knglishwoman,  daughter  to  the  old  gentleman  driv- 
en over  by  the  squire's  imperious  servants  and  horses. 
He  called  her  Fanny.  That  was  too  prosaic  a  name 
for  us.    Wo  began  with  Fanny,  but  soon  got  to  Pet.

night  to  ask  me  if  I  had  written  to  her.  Hitherto 
I  have  presented  our  squire  to  public  view  as  a  man 
possessing  negative  qualities  or  virtues.  Yet  I  am 
happy  to  say  he  was  not  so  wholly  different  from 
the  rest  of  the  world  as  to  be  without  some  pecu- 
liarity or  virtue.     He  wrote  the  best  hand  and  the 

liesi  letter  that  any  man  could  write. 

Remembering  this,  I  happily  hit  upon  the  idea 
that  he  should  begin  a  correspondence  with  Pet, 
sending  the  first  letter  under  cover  to  her  grand- 
father. It  was  not  to  be  a  lover's  letter,  but  mere- 
ly a  chatty,  amusing.  I  riendly  letter.

their  master,  the  imperious  horses  and  servants  were

to  transpose  themselves  into  mere  camera  of  baggage 
(and  that  not  their  master's),  and  bring  back  the 
luggage  of  the  old  gentleman  and  the  young  lady.

would  Robert  say  ?  What  would  every  body  say  ? 
The  proud  old  housekeeper!     The  imperious  serv- 

little  cottage,  and  keeping  a  farm.  I  am  not  going 
to  tell  my  real  name,  so  I  may  confess  that  I  have 
churned  the  butter  very  often  when  Robert  has 
had  the  whole  household  out  in  the  hay-field,  and 
has  left  no  one  at  home  but  the  cat.  And  I  can 
make  cheese;  and  altogether  I  am  not  at  all  the

So  good  and  unselfish  of  the  squire! 

I  gave  his  message,  with  a  little  spice  of  my  o 


"No,  no.  You  are  of  all  Pattys  the  most

THE  INAUGURAL  ADDRESS. 

THE  inaugural  address  of  the  President  is 
characteristically  simple  and  solemn.  He 
neither  speculates,  nor  prophesies,  nor  senti- 
mentalizes. Four  years  have  revealed  to  every 
mind  the  ghastly  truth  that  the  Government  of 
the  United  States  is  struggling  in  a  death-grapple 
with  slavery;  and  as  a  new  epoch  of  the  Govern- 
ment opens  in  civil  war,  its  Chief  Magistrate 
states  the  vital  point  of  the  contest,  and  invokes 
God's  blessing  upon  the  effort  of  the  country  to 
finish  its  work  in  triumph.  "With  a  certain 
grand  and  q  uaint  vigor,  unprecedented  in  modern 
politics,  the  President  says:  "Fondly  do  we 
hope,  fervently  do  we  pray,  that  this  mighty 
scourge  of  war  may  soon  pass  away.  Yet,  if 
God  wills  that  it  continue  until  all  the  wealth 
piled  by  the  bondman's  two  hundred  and  fifty 
years  of  unrequited  toil  shall  be  sunk,  and  until 
every  drop  of  blood  drawn  with  the  lash  shall  be 


iid  with  a 


•  ,1.  uvn  wi.h  ( 


said  three  thousand  years  ago,  so,  still  it  must 
be  snid:  'The  judgments  of  the  Lord  are" true 
and  righteous  altogether."1 

We  are  especially  glad  that  the  inaugural 
d"es  not,  as  the  New  York  Tribune  wishes  it  did, 
"  appeal  to  the  rebels  for  a  cessation  of  hostili- 
ties as  plead  igly  as  its  prototype  [the  first  inau- 
gural] urger  forbearance  from  beginning  them." 
Snch  a  ton*-  70iild  have  been  neither  politic  nor 
humane.  When  the  President  speaks  of  "  the 
progress  of  our  arms  upon  which  all  else  chiefly 
depends,"  every  man  is  reminded  of  the  peace- 
liistory  of  the  last  year,  and  of  the'  terms  which 
have  been  constantly  repeated,  and  which  are 
perfectly  well  known  to  the  rebels  and  to  the 
world.  Those  terms  are  unconditional  submis- 
sion to  the  Jaws  of  the  United  States. 

We  are  equally  glad  that  the  President  in- 
dulges in  no  observations  upon  Mexico,  England, 
France,  and  things  in  general.  He  was  taking 
the  oath  to  continue  the  work  in  which  his  con- 
tinued in  his  office  by  general  assent.  With  a 
fine  sense  of  propriety  he  says,  in  the  gravest  and 
most  impressive  way,  that  he  accepts  the  trust 
and  prays  for  strength  to  do  his  duty.  And  all 
inie  American  hearts  say,  Amen! 


THE  PERILS  OF  THE  RAIL. 

May  accidents  in  the  country  since  the  year 
opened.  In  the  last  week  of  February  there 
were  ten,  and  since  the  first  of  January  more 
7  people  have  been  killed,  and  nearly 


upon  railroads.  Scarcely  a  day  passes  that 
some  disaster  is  not  recorded,  and  if  the  people 
of  the  country,  in  their  Legislatures,  do  not  help 
themselves  they  are  likely  to  go  unaided. 

That  Government  should  not  meddle  with  pri- 
vateaffairs  is  very  true.  But  wholesale  slaughter 
upon  railroads  which  derive  all  their  privileges 
from  the  people  is  not  a  private  affair.  "  There 
is  a  contract  between  the  companies  and  the 
people.  Personal  safety  is  one  of  the  inevitable 
although  unexpressed  conditions  of  the  contract. 
If  it  is  broken  by  the  privileged  party,  the  party 
that  grants  the  privilege  may  properly  take  the 
Mi'ps  necessary  to  secure  "'  " 
'wn.htion*.       Legisl;,rivf- 


■  undesirable,  but  universal  ae- 


lic  danger,  the  public  will  very  properly  insis 
upon  taking  care  of  itself,  by  imposing  new  win 
diiiuus  upon  the  company. 

So  unfortunate  a  season  for  railroad  travc 


was  never  known  in  this  country.  The  reasons 
are  many.  All  the  roads  are  well  worn.  The 
price  of  iron  has  been  so  high  that,  at  a  time  when 
the  roads  were  most  worked,  repairs  have  been 
delayed.  The  long-continued  frosts  have  weak- 
ened the  rails  and  the  iron-work  of  the  locomo- 
tives. The  throng  of  passengers  and  the  press 
of  freight  have  been  unprecedented,  and  the  Gov- 
ernment has  constantly  wanted  locomotives  and 
ils  have  snapped  in 
have  been  disabled ; 


cars  have  been  crowded  and 
time-tables  have  been  utterly  useless ;  connec- 
tions have  been  seldom  made,  and  trains  have 
been  quite  uniformly  delayed. 

ti  miv  iniiii  thiiil:^  ihal  <W  'L>-j.y-\:M\\.U:  has 
no  right  to  meddle  with  private  affairs  we  should 
like  to  seat  him  in  a  car  from  New  York  to  New 
Haven,  and  when  the  train  is  thundering  along 
at  thirty  miles  an  hour,  jerking  and  jumping 
from  the  track  and  every  passenger  waiting  for 
the  crash,  ask  his  opinion  of  the  right  of  any 
company  to  play  with  human  life  as  it  is  played 
with  upon  that  road.  Or  if  he  is  confident  that 
every  company  should  be  left  to  mind  its  own 
affairs,  we  should  like  to  stand  him  up  in  a  car 
upon  the  New  York  Central  from  Albany  io 
Utica,  with  no  chance  of  a  seat,  and,  reminding 
him  that  there  was  no  chance  of  helping  him- 
self by  the  competition  of  another  road,  ask  him 
whether  he  paid  his  fare  for  the  privilege  of  dis- 
comfort, and  whether  the  charter  was  granted 
for  the  public  accommodation  or  not.

Dried  wood !  Golly,  there 
are  twenty-four  stoves  on  this  train  and  only 
two  on  'em  has  any  fire,  and  yourn's  one.  Ef 
yer  wait  for  dry  wood  yer'll  freeze  pretty  sudden. 
This  wood  was  all  cut  down  this  mornin'." 
From  eight  o'clock  in  the  morning  until  nine  at 
night  there  was  no  stoppage  for  eating.  The 
train  was  laboring  along  behind  time;  and

THE  OLD  SOPHISTRY. 


m  politely  saying  to  its 
'emancipation  will  not 
ch  an  act  upon  the  part 


absolutely  clear -that  "the  federals  were  fight- 
but  for  imperial  dominion,  and  nothing  else." 

Culloden,  when  Smith  O'Brien  was  seized  in 
Ireland-and  transported,  when  the  Sepoys  were 
blown  from  cannon  in  India,  what  was  the  Brit- 
ish Government  doing  ?  Was  it  fighting  for  im- 
perial dominion  and  nothing  else,  or  was  it  fight- 
ing to  maintain  the  authority  of  the  Government? 
Is  not  every  sovereign  power  fighting  for  impe- 
rial dominion  when  it  refuses  to  yield  to  rebel- 
lion upon  Its  own  domain?  And  has  the  Gov- 
ernment of  the  United  States  less  rightful  sover- 
eign authority  over  the  United  Stales  than  En- 
gland has  over  Scotland,  Ireland,  or  India? 


It  is  I 

works  conviction. 

Or  is  it  pretended  that  this  Government  is 
debarred  from  maintaining  its  sovereignty  by 
force  because  it  exists  by  the  consent  of  the 
governed?  Does  the  Times  or  any  Englishman 
gravely  assert  that  therefore  any  citizen  m 
refuse  to  pay  his  tax,  or  to  resist  a  law  which 
does  not  like  ?  If  be  does,  he  should  mend  his 
knowledge  by  a  little  study. 

When  the  Parliament  took  arms  against 
Charles  First,  what  was  the  justification? 
That  he  had  violated  the  Constitution  of  En- 
gland. What  was  that  Constitution?  It  was 
a  theory  and  a  series  of  laws  and  precedents. 
The  theory  was  that  the  Government  should 
consist  of  King,  Lords,  and  Commons.  Each 
part  had  its  privilege.  The  King  asserted  a 
certain  extent  to  his.  The  Parliament  denied 
h.  The  inosl  veherueii!  i'e;r!!aim-Hiarv  hish,- 
rians  agree  that  the  limits,of  the  prerogative  had 
never  been  exactly  defined.  Why,  then,  had  not 
the  King  a  right 
as  the  Parliament? 
swered  Parliament,  that  would  put 
of  every  Englishman  at  his  mercy.  The  King 
must  do  nothing  against  the  law,  and  tue  law  is 
made  by  the  representatives  of  the  people.  The 
law,  therefore,  represents  the  will  or  consent  of 
the  people.  Does  the  Times  deny  that  the  Gov- 
ernment of  England  exists  by  the  practical  con- 
sent of  Englishmen  ?  What  else  did  Lord  Rus- 
sell mean  when  he  said  at  Blairgowrie,  two

remain  neutral  in  the  American  war,  because 
undoubtedly  a  numerical  majority  of  Englishmen 
sympathized  with  the  American  Government? 
What  is  the  danger  that  threatens  England  to- 
day? That  the  consent  of  the  people  will  be 
disregarded ;  in  which  ease,  the  London  Times 
would  be  terribly  taught  what  is  the  source  of 
government. 

"Yes,"  saya  the  Times,  "but  the  English 
never  admitted  the  right  of  revolution."  But 
whether  they  have  or  not,  they  have  practiced 
it.  What  is  the  foundation  of  the  present  sys- 
tem in  England  but  "the  glorious  revolution" 
of  1688  which  drove  James  Second  from  the 
throne?  What  was  its  justification  ?  The 
wrongs  of  the  English  people,  which  had  no 
present  or  prospective  legal  redress.  What  was 
the  justification  of  the  American  revolution  of 
1776  ?  The  wrongs  of  the  Colonists,  which  had 
no  present  or  prospective  legal  redress.  That 
is  the  only  right  of  revolution  ever  asserted  in 
America,  and  that  came  in  direct  descent  from 
England. 

But  the  right  of  revolution  can  neither  be 
pleaded  for  the  rebels,  nor  do  they  plead  it  for 
Ives.  It  is  the  right  of  secession  by 
they  justify  their  rebellion.  Not  only 
:y  no  unredressed  wrongs  to  declare,  but 
General  Lee,  their  captain,  confessed  that  the 
rebellion  was  a  mistake,  although  he  did  not 
refuse  to  yield  '  " 
The    "

MR.  POWELL'S  PICTURE. 
The  Senate  of  the  United  States  has  ap- 
propriated twenty-five  thousand  dollars  for  the 
purchase  of  a  picture,  by  Mr.  W.  H.  Powell,  to 
q  the  Capitol  at  Washington.  Sen- 
iii  in  vain  endeavored  to  provide  that 
t  should  be  made  until  competition 
invited  among  the  painters  of  the 
country.  The  resolution  was  pressed  to  a  vote, 
and  carried  by  twenty-three  yeas  against  seven- 
teen nayB. 

Against  this  action  of  the  Senate  we  enter  a 
protest.  Mr.  Powell  is  doubtless  a  deserving 
gentleman.  We  certainly  know  nothing  to  the 
contrary.  But  he  does  not  rank  among  the 
most  eminent  painters  in  the  country ;  while  the 
sum  appropriated  is,  we  believe,  the  largest  ever 
paid  by  Congress  for  a  picture.  Mr.  Powell's 
picture  of  De  Soto  discovering  the  Mississippi 
hangs  in  the  rotunda  of  the  Capitol  at  Wash- 
ington, and  it  is,  in  no  sense,  a  work  of  the 
highest  excellence.  But  the  question  involved 
is  not  personal.  Our  objection  to  the  proceed- 
ing would  be  the  same  whoever  had  been  named 

We  know  nothing  of  the  methods  which  have 
been  employed  t 
Powell  ;  but  i 
manner  in  which 
It  is  what  is  coir

tnonly  called  lobbying.    It  has 


able  as  to  the  ability  of  the  artist— until  finally 
the  matter  becomes  a  point  of  pride,  and  the 
project  is  consummated.  The  consequences  of 
such  a  method  may  be  contemplated  in  the  Cap- 
itol. They  are  both  ludicrous  and  humiliating. 
Plainly  the  proper  course  is  an  open  compe- 

who  would  not  gladly  compete  for  such  a  work 
and  such  a  price,  and  the  collection  of  cartoons 
which  would  thus  be  produced  would  be  both 
valuable  and  interesting,  while  many  of  those 
which  were  unsuccessful  would  be  privately 
commissioned.  This  course  would  enhance  the 
dignity  of  American-  ait  and  the  popular  interest 
in  it;  and  however  opinions  might  differ  as  to 
the  propriety  of  the  final  decision  of  the  Congress 
sional  Committee,  there  would  be  no  question 
that  all  possible  means  had  been  taken  to  reach 
a  fair  verdict.  This  can  never  be  the  case  so 
long  as  the  present  method  is  pursued.  It  is 
seldom  known  that  a  picture  is  to  be  ordered 
until  the  preparations  are  completed  to  secure 
the  snecess  of  a  certain  individual.  The  inev- 
itable result  is  dissatisfaction  and  suspicion,  by 
which  the  artist  himself  does  not  fail  to  suffer. 

The  Capitol  of  the  United  States  is  in  many 
respects  a  noble  building ;  and  Mr.  Powell  is, 
we  have  no  doubt  whatever,  a  very  worthy  gen- 
any  good  reason  why  tho 
lake  him  a  valuable  pres- 
ent, we  do  not  complain.  But  why  should  the 
Senate  employ  a  worthy  gentleman  at  a  high 
price  to  deface  the  Capitol  ?

MR.  GILMER'S  LITTLE  JOKE. 

Among  the  reluctant  rebels  was  Mr.  Gilmer, 
of  North  Carolina.  He  was  formerly  conspicu- 
ous in  Congress,  and  so  moderate  "a  Southern- 
er" that  his  name  was  mentioned  among  those 
of  his  section  who  might  be  properly  invited  to 
a  place  in  Mr.  Lincoln's  cabinet  four  years  ago. 
Mr.  Gilmer  is  a  large  slaveholder,  and  has  been 
a  quiet  and  conservative  member  of  the  rebel 
Congress  at  Richmond. 

After  the  failure  of  the  late  peace  negotia- 
tions Mr.  Gilmer  introduced  some  resolutions 
into  the  rebel  House  which,  if  despair  has  not 
deranged  his  mind,  are  intelligible  only  as  a 
cunning  satire  upon  the  absurdity  of  the  claims 
of  the  rebellion.  They  are  in  the  form  of  a  sup- 
plement to  the  resolutions  which  declare  that  the 
rebels  will  prosecute  the  war  until  they  have 
and  resolve  that, 
the  Confed- 


Stw 


that  there  be  a  separation 
between  the  United  States  and  the  Confederate 
States  of  America,  each  perfectly  free  and  in- 
dependent of  each  other." 

That  is  the  first  thing  they  would  "consent 
to."  They  would  farther  consent  that  there* 
should  be  a  "Diet,"  to  which  each  might  send 
as  many  delegates  and  in  such  manner  as  it 
chose.  In  the  Diet  there  should  be  but  two 
vote--  one  hy  (he  Nurfliem,  the  oihri  |,v  ih^ 
Southern  delegates,  and  its  acts  should  be  bind- 
ing upon  neither  party  until  ratified  by  each. 
Finally,  the  rebels  would  consent  to  allow 
Kentucky  and  Missouri  to  decide,  by  a  vote  of 
tho  people  resident  in  those  States  at  the  begin- 

i:n;;    >n    fhe    w;<t,    v,"h.  ilk'V    the)     v,-..mhl    ;:u    \vii.h 

the  North  or  the  South. 

This  is  grim  jesting.  It  is  not  difficult  to 
imagine  Mr.  Gilmer,  after  hearing  Benjamin's 
speech,  which  declared  the  last  hope  of  the  re- 
bellion to  be  the  help  of  the  slaves,  rising  and 
suggesting  with  Mepfftstophelian  gravity  that, 
whereas  the  "Confederate  States"  took  up  arms 
to  secure  their  independence,  and  whereas,  after 
a  war  of  four  years,  they  are  now  manifestly 
overcome  by  the  superior  power  of  the  Govern- 
ment, and  whereas  they  can  not  secure  their  in- 
dependence by  arms,  therefore  the  same  "Con- 
federate States,"  as  a  compromise  and  final 
'  the  quarrel,  will  "consent  to" 
recognition  of  their  independence  by  tho 


THE  SOUTHERN  PEOPLE  UNDE- 
CEIVED. 

Why  should  the  rebel  leaders  wonder  that 
the  people  around  them  no  longer  trust  them  ? 
The  Southern  people  are  rapidly  discovering 
that  they  have  been  fooled  by  men  whose  aim 
■was  their  own  aggrandizement,  not  the  welfare 
of  the  whole.  These  men  cry  frantically,  to 
their  followers  to  stand  fast.  But  why  should 
they  ?  Don't  despond,  says  General  Lee.  But 
why  should  they  not  ?  Have  the  result's  of  the 
war  or  its  conduct  been  such  as  to  teach  them 
confidence  ? 

The  Richmond  Examiner  despairingly  ex- 
claims :  "  If  Richmond  be  held  but  another  six 
months  the  fate  of  the  Confederacy  will  have 
hcen  favorably  decided." 

This  was  on  the  27th  of  February,  1865  ;  but 
in  February,  1861,  just  four  years  before,  Jef- 
ferson Davis  said  in  Stevenson,  Alabama: 
"Your  border  States  will  gladly  come  into  the 
Southern  Confederacy  within  sixty  days,  as  wo 
will  be  your  only  friends.     England  will  recop-

LET  US  MAKE  TEE  BEST  OF  IT. 

Life  is  but  a  fleeting  dream, 
Care  destroys  the  zest  of  it; 

Swift  it  glideth  like  a  stream- 
Mind  you  make  the  best  of  it! 

Talk  not  of  y^ur  weary  woes, 
Troubles,  or  the  rest  of  it ; 

If  we  have  but  brief  repose, 
Let  us  make  the  best  of  it ! 

If  your  friend  has  got  a  heart, 
There  is  something  fine  in  him ; 

Cast  away  his  darker  part, 

Cling  to  what's  divine  in  him. 

Friendship  is  our  best  relief- 
Make  no  heartless  jest  of  it ; 

It  will  brighten  every  \

bending  over  her  own.  No  wonderthat  itseemed  to 
her  as  beautiful  as  heaven'.  And,  in  fact,  a  more 
truly  beautiful  countenance  than  Gabriel  Angler's 
never  existed  out  of  a  picture ;  and  if  she  dreamed 
of  itthat  night,  it  was  the  first  time  that  any  identity 
had  over  haunted  her  dreams  with  the  least  special 
significance.  It  was  not  loug  after  this,  before— 
as  Major  D'Arlincourt  had  previously  desired  to  send 
home  a  likeness  of  his  daughter— that  this  daughter 
mentioned  a  suitable  artist,  and  sat  to  Gabriel  Au- 
gier  that  he  might  transfer  her  bloom  to  his  canvas, 
so  far  as  it  was  possible  for  any  pencil  to  do  it.  The

;  was  entirely  desti- 

was  charity,  and  insupportable.  She  might  go  to 
her  father's  cousin  ;  but  how  she  would  be  received 
there  was  uncertain.  The  old  D'Arlincourt  ambi- 
tion ami  pride  was  as  tierce  with  her  as  with  any  of 
her  name,  and  with  it  in  her,  because  she  was  a 
woman,  was  a  heart  crying  out  for  care  and  affec- 
tion and  love.  One  day,  then,  when  she  came  down 
to  luncheon  and  found  Gabriel,  after  Iiis  three  months' 
absence  in  another  town,  sitting  there  at  the  table 
of  this  good  lady  who  was  nearly  as  much  his  friend 
as  Sabrina's,  her  pulse  bounded  with  a  throb  such  as 
she  had  not  felt  for  many  a  weary  day.  One  mo- 
ment she  was  indignant  with  herself;  the  next,  she 
wa~  ^as-rendered  to  the  first  happiness  she  had  known 
iu  all  that  time  between.  It  was  not  every  day, 
after  this,  that  Mr.  Gabriel  came.  Once,  when  he 
did,  he  found  Sabrina  busy  at  the  old  sketches  she 
had  formerly  begun  under  bis  tuition.  "You  see," 
said  she,  looking  up  with  her  smile,  and  then  aflash, 
and  then  a  reddening,  "  1  am  furnishing  all  the  lit- 


A  singular  expression  lightened  Gabriel's  face 
while  he  listened.      "  I  am  glad  to  hear  it,'"  said  he. 

She  looked  up  angrily,  but  her  eves  fell  before  his. 

"I  am  glad  to  hear  it,"repeated  he.  "  You  will 
learn  that  life  is  not  play.  You  will  perhaps  be- 
come a-  tiuhle  as  yon  an-  beauiii'nl." 

"  Do  you  think  I  am  beautiful  ?"  asked  Sabrina, 
raising  her  eyes  again,  and  not  in  the  least  olfeuded, 
though  she  would  have  withered  such  familiarity 
from  another.  "Once  you  said,  I  recollect,  that  I 
was  proud  and  petted  and  perverse!" 

Ho  was  standing  opposite  her  seat,  only  the  lit- 
tle table  with  her  desk  between  them.  "Proud  you 
still  are,"  returned  he,  smilingly.  "Petted  you 
see  if  you  are  still  pervert

flattered,  adored,  commanding,  the  cup  of  triumph 
was  forever  at  her  lips.  From  the  hour  that  she  rose 
until  that  when  she  sunk  wearily  among  her  pil- 
lows at  night,  besot  by  guests,  and  pursuing  herself 
a  round  of  perpetual  festival,  there  was  scarcely  the 
moment  when  she  was  alone,  no  instant  for  thought 
or  memory,  no  blank,  dark  moment  for  any  ghost  to 
rise  in.  Her  beauty  seemed  only  to  deepen  with

feared  lest  she  were  growing  weak,  and  only  threw 
herself  into  wilder,  more  extravagant  gayeties. 

One  summer-time,  when  Mrs.  Hilary  and  her 
husband  entertained  a  large  party  of  their  town 
acquaintance  at  their  country-place,  a  rainy  week 
came  on,  and  they  wearied  at  its  close,  perhaps  for

She  kept  her  resolution.  From  the  poor-house 
she  selected  a  small  servant-maid,  not  yet  old 
enough  to  think  of  "  followers."  As  cook  she  kept 
a  hideous  old  female,  too  far  advanced  in  years  to 
remember  them.  The  milk  was  brought  by  a 
German  woman.  The  butcher's  wife,  by  request, 
brought  in  the  joints.  Even  a  woman  cut  the  grass 
in  the  garden  when  it  was  too  long,  and  if  man  ap- 
proached the  gates  ancient  Deborah,  the  cook,  was 
sent  forth  to  parley  with  and  obstruct  his  approach. 

Having  thus  made  things  safe,  MiBS  Preciosa

A  TROUBLED  TENANCY.

Under  these  circumstances  I  gladlv  availed  my- 
self of  a  kind  offer  made  to  me  by  an  old  friend,  a 

my  abode  at  his  house,  which  was  situated  in  a  vil- 
lage twelve  miles  from  the  city.  Here,  he  assured 
me,  I  was  heartily  welcome  to  remain  until  I  could

It  -was  a  brilliant  entertainment,  and  I  found  it

We  paced  this  conservatory  for  some  time  in  com- 
pany with  many  other  couples.  The  retreat  was 
likely  to  be  popular,  for  it  had  been  arranged  for  the 
occasion  with  much  taste,  and  its  general  aspect 

lamps  shone  like  glittering  gems  above ;  while  fount- 
ains flung  up  diamonds  from  beneath,  amidst  feath- 
ery fronds  and  scented  blossoms. 

But  gradually  the  promenaders  thinned ;  and  at 
length,  although  after  what  space  of  time  I  can  not 
say,  I  found  myself  alone  with  Edith.  I  led  her  to 
a  conch  which  had  been  placed  at  that  end  of  the 
conservatory  furthest  from  the  drawing-room,  and 
seated  myself  beside  her. 

Having  proceeded  so  far,  I  confess  I  found  it  diffi- 
cult to  advance  further,  and  an  embarrassing  silence 
convinced  me  that  I  was  a  bad  hand  at  making  an 
offer.  When  at  last  I  opened  my  lips,  it  was  only 
to  experience,   with  painful   vividness,  the  truth 


,-  faltering,  joimdabrait  ob-crvations  seemed  just

Now,  supposing  that  these  words  had  been  all- 
supposing  that  I  had  been  called  upon  merely  to 
account  for  the  sound  or  fancied  sound— I  could 
easily  have  persuaded  myself  that  I  had  simply

Although,  while  half  awake,  I  was  seriously 
alarmed  by  the  apparition,  I  had  no  sooner  grasped 
my  usual  waking  powers  of  mind  than  I  recovered 
myself  and  sprang  out  of  bed,  resolving  then  and 
there  to  clear  up  the  ugly  riddle.  But  as  I  did  so 
the  cause  of  my  perplexity  vanished.  Standing 
upno  the  door,  wide  ;u\:ila-,  1  arrived  at  the  certain 
conviction  that  I  was  the  sole  occupant  of  the  room. 
I  now  entered  upon  a  weary  process  of  mental  cross- 
examination,  in  the  hope  of  eliciting  from  my  con- 
fused impressions  facts  on  which  to  found  Borne

Had  I  been  able  to  remain  in  solitude  that  day  I 
verily  believe  I  should  have  lost  my  reason.  -  But  I 
was  obliged  to  go  to  town  immediately  ;  and  a  few 
hours  of  enforced  attention  to  the  details  of  a  com- 
plicated legal  question  drew  away  my  attention 
from  myself,  and  assisted  me  to  recover  my  mental

After  dinner  I  wrote  an  ardent 
letter  to  Edith,  and  what  I  hoped  was  a  judicious 
one  to  her  father,  and,  designing  that  both  should

was  an  inordinately  large  dose.  I  lighted  a  taper  as 
on  tho  prcVious  night,  and  laid  myself  down,  ex- 
pecting to  sleep  soundly.  But  instead  of  sleep,  the 
most  extraordinary  sensations  seized  me.  My  soul 
seemed  wrapped  in  an  atmosphere  of  delicious  and 
ravishing  happiness.  Every  thing  painful  and  an- 
noying was  eliminated  from   iny  thoughts;    and, 


although 


eliminated   ! 
perplexities  , 


Sweet  memories  of  Edith  floated  through  my  soul ; 
and  even  the  apparitions  of  the  previous  night  as-

lion utterly  without  the  shadow  of  pretense.  We 
seceded  from  the  Federal  Government,  ho  says, 
because  it  threatened  to  touch  slavery;  and  now 
we  propose  to  allow  the  Confederate  Govern- 
ment to  meddle  with  it.  The  arming  and 
emancipation  of  the  slaves,  therefore,  is,  he 
contends,  an  abandonment  of  the  contest.  In 
other  words— although  Mr.  Hunter  did  not  put 
it  in  that  form — we  seceded  to  save  slavery,  and 
now  we  abolish  slavery  to  save  secession. 

The  argument  of  his  speech  upon  the  grounds 
of  the  rebellion  is  indeed  unanswerable,  but  the 
tone  of  it  is  humiliating  for  any  intelligent  hu- 
man being.     To  vote  for  the  bill,  he  says,  is  to 


will  save  his  consistency  and  honor  by  resij 
ing.  Certainly  the  "honor"  of  a  Virgin; 
"  gentleman"  will  not  suffer  him  to  be  made  ■ 
tool  of  traitors  to  n  cause  which  he  professes

man" is  "instructed"  to  betray  his  country,  as  he 
conceives,  and  he  makes  a  wry  face  and  obeys. 

This  is  the  kind  of  person  who,  for  thirty  years 
post,  has  been  lecturing  this  country  upon 
"honor."  This  is  a  specimen  of  the  "gentle-

Every  citizen  of  New  Jersey, 
concerns  the  Camden  and  Amboy  Railroad,  is 
liable  to  suspicion  until  the  State  emancipates 
itself  from  its  control.  How  many  influential 
newspapers  in  New  Jersey  dare  to  expose  the 
acts  of  that  monopoly  ?  How  many  leading 
lawyers  accept  briefs  against  it?  How  many 
men  in  public  life  hope  to  rise  in  face  of  its 
enmity?  We  know  nothing  of  Mr.  William 
Earley,  Coroner,  nor  do  we  insinuate  a  suspi- 
cion of  his  perfect  rectitude  ;  but  as  he  is  a  Jer- 
seyman,  living  in  tho  vicinity  of  the  Camden

COWELL  LENDING  A  HAND. 

We  are  afraid  that  even  Cowell  can  not  Bi

;  London  Examiner.  Cowell  hears  soe

plan  of  avoiding  the  war!  Ah!  thinks  Co 
ell,  assisted  by  the  London  Times,  if  it  cot 
only  be  believed  that  the  American  Secret; 
of  State  is  the  author  of  this  suggestion,  son 
body  might  be  induced  to  throw  an  alms  in  l 
hat  of  a  needy  rebellion  I 

But,  as  we  said,  even  Cowell  will  har« 
succeed.  The  United  States,  France,  and  I 
gland  are  certainly  not  cordial  friends,  but  tl 
do  not  wish  to  go  to  war  with  each  other.  T) 
we  have  been  bitterly  hostile  to  England  for  1 
hot  haste  in  recognizing  the  rebels  aa  bellig 
cnts,  and  maritime  belligerents,  is  true.  Ti 
wo  may  call  upon  her  for  indemnity  fur  ■ 
losses  wrought  by  the  rebel  ships  that  sai

But  if  we  do,  she  will  leave  the  question  to  :

nt  tlie  end  of  their  present  difficulties,  may  not 
wish  to  fight.  But  they  will  be  certainly  able 
to  fight ;  and  so  sagacious  an  observer  as  Loois 
Napoleon  will  hardly  fail  to  note  so  interest- 
ing and  suggestive  a  fact. 

It  seems,  therefore,  as  if  Cowell  would  lose 
his  pains.  Foreign  war  is  not  at  all  likely  un- 
less provoked  by  us;  and  the  union  of  national 
and  rebel  arms  to  provoke  it  is  one  of  those  shal- 
low wbimseys  which  common-sense  instinctively 
repudiates.     That  the  war  has  proved  the  im- 

ble  military  power  is  plain  ;  but  it  lias  not  made 
us  a  military  people.  It  has  not  tainted  us  with 
lust  of  dominion,  and  by  exterminating  slavery 
it  has  extirpated  the  cancer  of  "manifest  des- 
tiny." A  military  force  in  the  field  we  shall 
long  retain,  because  preparation  discourages  in- 
surrection. Nor  are  we  ever  likely  again  to  be 
so  utterly  stripped  of  defensive  and  offensive 
means  as  we  were  when  the  war  burst  upon  us. 
But  still  the  restored  Union  will  be  modera- 
tion, firmness,  and  peace.  The  infinite  swag- 
ger and  bluster  of  a  slavery-propagating  policy, 
which  disgusted  every  decent  nation  in  the 
world,  will  give  place  to  a  spirit  of  civilization 
and  equity.  The  sentimentality  and  savagery, 
which  had  both  inflated  and  degraded  the  coun- 

univcrsal  justice  and  fair  play.  Exactly  what 
Abraham  Lincoln  is  contrasted  with  Slldell, 
and  Wigfall,  and  Davis,  and  Benjamin,  and 
Toombs,  and  Franklin  Pierce,  and  Buchan- 
an, and  Fernando  Wood,  and  Yancey,  and 
Pendleton,  and  Sadlsburt,  and  Bright— 
just  that  will  be  the  contrast  of  the  spirit  and 
policy  of  the  United  States  after  and  before  the 


A  TRAGICAL 

The  tragical  delusion  of  the  madmen  of 
Charleston  four  years  ago,  that  they  could  over- 
throw a  great  nation  as  easily  as  they  could  fire 
upon  a  provision  ship  or  upon  a  little  isolated 
garrison,  is  vividly  illustrated  by  the  two  follow- 
ing extracts.  The  first  is  from  the  Charleston 
Mercury  of  the  10th  of  January,  1861,  and  the 
second  from  a  letter  to  the  Tribune,  written  in 
Charleston  on  the  20th  of  February,  1865 :

A  PHOTOGRAPH  FROM  ANCIENT 
GREECE. 
We  have  already  mentioned  Professor  Tat- 
ler  Lewis's  remarkable  monograph,  "State 
Rights,  a  Photograph  from  the  Ruins  of  Ancient 
Greece,"  in  which  the  most  copious  scholarship 
is  brought  in  a  most  trenchant  and  picturesque 
style  toillustrate  the  condition  and  the  dangers  of 
our  condition.  The  pernicious  folly  of  th 
trine  of  supreme  State  Rights,  which  is  bi 
other  name  for  the  right  of  secession,  is  shown 
in  the  history  and  fate  of  Greece,  and  shown 
not  only  with  the  inexorable  logic  of  the  philo- 
sophic historian,  hut  with  the  pathetic  regret  of 
a  scholar  who,  deeply  versed  in  the  literature 


and  language  of  Greer-  (  ,  .  .'  id  .  ■.-r<\\rr1 
charm  of  Grecian  civilization  and  its  possible  in- 
fluence upon  the  course  of  history,  an  influence 
which  was  paralyzed  and  lost  by  the  same  false 
doctrme  that  now  imperils  the  American  Union 
and  finally  destroyed  Greece. 

The  pamphlet,  originally  published  last  au- 
tumn, and  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  sig- 
nificant which  the  war  has  produced,  is  now  re- 
issued by  Weed,  Parsons,  &  Co.,  of  Albany, 
enriched  with  three  supplementary  chapters  on 
the  Ideas  of  Nationality  ;  of  Sovereignty;  and 
the  Right  of  Revolution.  The  stringent  com- 
mon sense  of  these  chapters  is  not  less  striking 
than  their  clear  and  conclusive  reasoning.  As 
a  contribution  to  the  solution  of  the  vexed  ques- 
tion of  nationality,  which  will  be  debated  until 
it  is  finally  put  to  rest  in  the  fundamental  law, 
this  pamphlet  of  Professor  Lewis  will  hold  a 
distinguished  place.  It  is  plain  that  as  the  par- 
tial obscurity  of  the  Constitution  upon  the  point 
of  Slavery  has  compelled  the  people  to  make  it

grown  old  and  so  familiar  that  the  man's  other 
thoughts  have  adapted  themselves  to  it.  De  Quin- 
cey  gives  it  as  his  opinion  that,"  except  where  a  secret

waited  for  my 

husband,  and  for  the  morning,  and  longed  to  hear 

again  the  sound  of  the  gun.  I  waited  in  vain  for  all. 
The  morning  seemed  indefinitely  postponed.  It 
was  early  autumn,  and  the  weather,  though  chilly, 
would  not  bo  fatal  to  the  poor  .sailors,  as  the  cold 
often  is  on  our  terrible  shore.  Day  dawned  at  last, 
and  when  it  was  light  enough  I  examined  the  beach 
with  my  husband's  spy-glass.  After  a  time  I  mode 
out  the  ship,  wedged  in  among  tho  rocks,  and  the

his  lifeless  bod)'  was  thrown  ashore  at  some  dis- 
tance from  the  point  where  the  men  were  received. 
A  young  man,  who  had  been  the  last  to  leave  the 
ship  before  the  captain,  was  passing  to  aud  fro  on 
the  beach  in  an  agony  of  anxhty,  when  the  body 
was  thrown  high  upon  tho  sand,  almost  at  his  feet. 
With  a  wild  cry  he  seized  upon  what  bad  been,  a 
few  minutes  before,  tho  animated  master  and  pre- 
server of  them  all.  My  husband  was  bostdo  him. 
A  fisherman  brought  a  piece  of  sail,  and  they  laid 
the  body  on  it,  and  four  men  bore  it  to  our  house. 
The  young  man  gave  some  directions  to  tho  sailors, 
and  then  followed  the  sad  cortege.  It  was  a  miser- 
able end  of  my  suspense,  but  I  was  relieved.  Tho 
rescued  crew  went  on  to  Plymouth,  after  they  had 
been  provided  with  dry  clothing  and  breakfast  by 
tho  villagers,  who  supplied  their  wants  with  great 
kindness,  and  afterward  gathered  up  their  coffee 
and  oranges,  as  they  came  ashore,  with  as  much 
diligence  as  if  they  had  been  a  bill  of  Eale  of  tho 

A  strange  feeling  thrilled  through  my  heart  as 
they  brought  the  captain  of  the  Midas  to  our  house. 
I  did  not  feel  as  if  a  corpse  were  being  borne  over

a  single  orange  out  of  a, shop  for  their  right  hands."

Angus  seemed  out  of  patience  with  my  unreason- 
able pertinacity  ;  ••till  he  made  a  very  thorough  ex- 
amination of  the  body,  but  failed  to  discover  any 
signs  of  life.  Then  he  turned  to  me,  and  said, 
"My  dear,  I  will  do  every  thing  just  as  if  I  were 
as  sure  that  he  is  alive  as  I  am  that  he  is  dead."

She  was  not  willing  that  I  should  be  a  sailor,  but

WHAT  THE  CYCLONE  DID  AT 
MASULIPATAM. 

Man  has  done  something  toward  replenishing 
the  earth,  but  shamefully  little  as  yet  toward  sub- 
duing it.     Where  he  has  it  pretty  well  under  con- 
trol, he  is  too  apt  to  wear  it  out,  without  thought 
for  those  who  come  after.     Thus,  for  instance,  in 
the  south  of  Franco  people  have  only  just  found 

all  the  woods,  and  so  subject  their  posterity  to  de- 
structive floods  whenever  the  rain  comes  heavily. 
That's  the  way  man  too  often  deals  with  the  earth 
where  he  can  manage  it— leaves  it  like  an  old  cot- 
ton-ground in  Virginia,  worthless  for  a  century  or 
so ;  or  like  most  of  ' '  the  Isles  of  Greece,"  so  dried

the  north,  where  the  laurels  and  rhododendrons-

did  not  make  much  of  tho  farming,  but  as  we  had 
enough  to  live  upon  comfortably,  it  did  not  so  much 
signify.  The  land  was  wet  and  heavy,  and  wanted 
such  a  lot  of  draining,  and  the  hedg'es  and  banks 
were  bo  thick  and  high,  they  took  up  a  deal  of  space 
and  kept  the  air  and  sunshine  off  the  fields.  We 
did  not  think  of  those  things  then  in  our  part  of  the 
country,  and  it's  only  since  I  have  lived  where  I  do 
now  that  I've  learned  them.  There  was  generally 
oomething  the  matter  with  the  sheep  or  the  cattle, 
or  the  potatoes  got  the  disease,  or  the  hay  heated, 
or  the  rats  got  so  ahead  that  they  ate  up  half  the

great  pleasure  in  it  myself  in  those  days,  in  tho 
poultry-yard  especially,  and  in  rearing  tho  calves, 
only  tliey  would  die  so  often. 

However,  as  I  have  said,  my  dear  father  never 
took  tl<es>  things  much  to  heart.  So  long  as  he 
coidd  oaunter  about,  seeing  to  things,  and  get  a 


day's  shooting  now  and  again,  and  have  bis  nap

her;  it  was  so  damp;  but  she  only  smiled,  and  said, 
quietly,  "Do  you  think  so?*'  and? thought  no  more 
about  it.  We  children,  too,  throve  no  hotter  than 
the  beasts  on  the  fnTK;  and  yet  I  don't  think  there 
was  any  hereditary  disease  in  the  family;  I  never 
heard  of  any,  at  all  events.  But  we  grew  up  slight 
and  pale,  and  weedy,  and  were  always  having  colds, 
and  croup.     The  quantity  ->f  mus-

her  chest,  and  the  usual  mustard  plaster  and  cur- 
rant-jelly water  did  no  good.  She  got  worse  and 
worse,  now  shivering,  now  glowing  with  lover,  and 
at  last  mamma  thought  that  maybe  it  would  be  bet- 
ter to  send  for  a  doctor.  But  when  the  doctor  came 
it  was  too  late.  She  had  inflammation  of  the  lungs, 
and  died  next  day.  The  doctor  said  it  was  very  un- 
wise to  let  us  go  as  we  did  all  the  year  round,  with 
bare  arms  and  neckB  and  legs,  running  in  and  out 
of  tho  house.  But  we  had  always  done  so,  and 
mamma  thought  that  nonsense;  it  made  children 
hardy,  she  said,  so  no  change  was  made.  But  by- 
and-by  Roger,  the  stoutest  of  us,  was  taken  ill,  much 
in  the  same  way,  and  before  the  Now  Year  he  went 
too,  and  was  laid  beside  Janey.  Then  mother  grew 
weaker  and  weaker,  and  coughed  awfully,  and  could 
neither  sleep  nor  eat.  Ah  me,  ah  me !  it  breaks 
my  hear!  to  think  of  that  time.  4 

In  a  word,  she  was  in  a  consumption  before  any 
body  in  the  house  thought  there  was  any  thing  seri- 
ous the  matter.  She  lingered  through  the  spring 
and  summer,  and  in  tho  autumn  she  died.  It  took 
my  father  by  surprise,  just  as  much  as  if  her  death

used  to  tremble  all  over  if  I  heaid  him  cough,  and 
often  I  would  wake  up  in  the  night,  shivering  from

And  so  the  time  went  hy,  and  I  could  see  that 
my  Willie's  little  strength  and  spirit  were  going 
with  it,  and  in  my  own  mind  I  resolved  something 
should  be  done,  and  ere  long  what  the  thing  should 

Willie's  godfather  lived  in  Rockminstor,  which 
was  about  nine  miles  from  us,  and  in  a  higher  and 

a  kind  man,  and  well  to  do,  arid  was  about  the  only 
person  who  had  continued  to  remember  much  about 
us,  and  take  an  interest  in  us.  It  was  our  own 
fault  that  more  persons  did  not  do  so;  for  when  wo 
were  left  alone,  many,  even  of  thoso  wo  hardly  knew, 
came  to  see  us,  and  offered  their  services,  and  asked 
us  to  their  houses.  But  we  were  shy  and  sad,  and 
unused  to  strangers,  and  shrunk  from  them.  So 
these  good  people,  seeing  it  was  no  uso  to  notice  us, 
let  us  alone.  But  Mr.  Heath  would  not  be  put  off 
so.  He  had  known  my  dear.father  when  they  were 
both  boys,  and  his  position  with  regard  to  Willio 
made  him  feel  that  ho  had  a  duty  and  a  right  as  re- 
spected him.  Still,  though  he  came  to  see  us  as 
often  as  ho  could,  and  was  anxious  that  Willie  should 

more  active  mode  of  life,  and  bring  him  in  contact 
with  more  people,  ho,  in  the  face  of  Willie's  constant 
objection  to  any  change,  by  degrees  left  off  urging 
him.  For  Willie,  like  many  quiet  people,  was  \»ry 
determined  when  he  took  a  resolution,  and  even  I

the  business.  He  told  Willio  that  he  was  in.  want 
of,  not  exactly  a  clerk  in  the  bank,  but  a  young 
man  of  a  superior  position  in  life— a  gentleman,  it

was  off  I  went  to  see  about  getting  a  room  ready  for 
him.  Rooms  enough  there  were,  Heaven  knows! 
all  sad  rooms,  never  inhabited  since  the  corpses  of 
those  who  had  dwelt  in  them  had  been  carried  out. 
But  it  would  not  do  to  think  of  that  now ;  so  I  chose 
the  sunniest,  and  had  a  fire  lit  in  it,  for  even  though 
it  was  June  it  struck  damp  and  chilly  when  I  opened 
the  door.  By-and-by,  however,  when  it  waB  well 
aired,  and  the  roses  and  honey-suckles  peeped  curi- 
ously in  at  tho  long  unopened  windows,  as  though 
they  were  astonished  to  see  preparations  for  any 
body's  coming  to  make  the  room  alive  again,  and 
when  I  had  put  flowers  on  the  mantle-piece,  and 
arranged  every  thing  in  apple-pie  order,  it  did  look 
cheery  enough.  And  then  I  had  to  go  and  see 
what  we  could  do  about  having  a  nice  dinner,  and 
the  plate  well  polished  up,  and  getting  out  tlie  sil- 
ver candlesticks  and  tea-pot.  and  the  beautiful  old 
Worcester  china  breakfast-set,  and  the  scarlet  and 
gold  dessert  service.  Then  I  had  to  be  off  to  the  vil- 
lage to  see  if  I  couldn't  beg,  borrow,  or  steal  some 
strawberries  and  cherries  to  put  into  it,  for  none  of 
ours,  hardly,  were  ripe  yet. 

And  so  the  day  passed  away  I  didn't  know  how 
till  I  found  I  had  only  just  time,  after  I  had  shown 
Eliza  how  to  set  out  tho  table,  to  smooth  my  hair

that  is  much  to  say.  He  had  been  in  all  sorts  of

throat ;  in  vain,  his  eyelids  would  droop  and  droop, 
and  quite  drop,  and  his  head  fall  helplessly  asido 
against  the  back  of  the  chair.  I  coughed  louder, 
and  let  fall  a  hook,  but  Willie's  eyes  just  opened  for 
a  moment,  and  then  closed  again.

PARTIES  AT  THE  SOUTH. 

FROM  the  glimpses  opened  by  Sherman,  and 
furnished  by  "the  rebel  journals,  and  the 
message  of  Jefferson  Davis,  it  is  not  difficult 
to  understand  the  condition  of  public  sentiment 
at  the  South.  There  is  the  original  fire-eating 
war-party,  of  which  Davis  is  the  gloomy  chief. 
Tn  this  belong  the  mass  of  the  women  and  the

19  the  fire-eaters  were  in  the  Southern  re- 
bellion.    With  these  must  be  counted  the  late 
slaves,  the  great  laboring  population.    They  will 
be  enfranchised,  wc  have  little  doubt,  by  the  sa- 
gacity of  the  new  party  in  the  Southern  States 
as  a  permanent  security  against  reaction.    When 
that  is  done,  there  will  be  no  more  ' '  natural  an- 
tipathy" to  the  African  than  to  the  Asian,  or  to 
the  European.     The  rebel-  have  discoveied  (bat 
a  colored  man  is  as  good  as  any  other  if  he  will 
only  fight  for  them.     W*  shall  find  that  he  13

The  work  of  reconstruction  will  be  done  by

And  as  the   vast   cloud   of  ignoraie  e 
lias  overshadowed  the  whole  Smith   seai- 
nd  lifts,  and  the  people  there  are  enabled  to 
icir  country  and  underlain!  their  Govcrn- 
tbey  will  have    touched  the  bottom  of 
ie  slough   in  which  slavery  and  State  sover- 
gnty  had  plunged  them. 

A  LITTLE  EFFORT. 

The  little  effort  of  the  rebel  chiefs  in  Kich- 
li  their  sympathizing  olefins 
ke  it  appear  that  the  Gov- 
peace,  is  amusing  and  nat- 
but  not  successful. 
Davis  and  the  Copperheads  know  perfectly 
ier  no  circumstances  will  the  Gov- 
the  United  States  treat  with  any 
rebels,  civil  or  military,  as  the  rep- 
government.  If  Davis  or  Lee,  or  any  rebel 
soldier  or  civilian,  has  made  up  his  mind  that 
the  rebellion  is  a  failure,  he  can  have  peace  by 
submitting  to  the  authority  of  his  lawful  Gov- 
ernment. There  has  never  been  any  other  con- 
dition, and  there  never  will  be.  If  General  Lee 
should  write  to  General  Grant  that  be  wishes  to 
cease  his  resistance  to  the  laws,  and  acknowledge 
the  national  authority,  General  Grant  would  at 
once  accept  his  surrender.  But  when  Lee  writes 
a  letter,  as  he  did  on  the  2d  of  March,  speak- 
ing of  arrangements  and  negotiations,  General 
Grant  properly  replies  that  he  is  i 
that  his  business  is  suppression  of 


uspended.  If 
done,  now  is  the  lime.  Sus- 
He  concludes  by  saying  that 
d  General  Longstri-.et  that 
there  might  be  a  chance  of  settling  "the  pres- 
ent unhappy  difficulties"  by  an  informal  confer- 
ence between  General  Grant  and  General  Lee  ; 
but  when  on  the  2d  of  March  General  Lee  pro- 
posed such  a  conference,  General  Grant  replied 
that  he  had  no  authority  to  act.  It  remains 
only  then,  says  Davis,  to  commend  our  sacred 
cause  to  God  and  our  own  valor.  Pass  the  laws 
I  recommend ;  then  go  home  and  encourage  the

How  John 
will  chuckle  that,  while  Davis  has 
had  all  the  bitterness  and  anxiety  and  strug- 
gle, he  has  performed  his  part  of  the  rebel- 
lion in  Paris,  comfortably  ensconced  in  airy 
apartments,   tranquilly   trundling   on   pleasant 


finest  society,  with

gin.  Moral,  intellectual,  political  progress  is 
impossible  until  a  wise  sanitary  system  is  se- 
cure. Starving,  sick,  vicious,  despairing  men, 
who  live  in  noisome  dens  in  which  horses  would 
die,  will  neither  think,  act,  vote,  nor  pray  right- 
ly. So  long  as  their  physical  degradation  con-  . 
tinues  so  long  their  souls  will  be  imbruted. 
While  half  of  the  population  of  the  city  live  in 
filth  and  breathe  poison  so  long  the  taxes  will 

to  bo  undermined  with  ferocious  passions  that 
endanger  its  peace  and  prosperity,  so  long  the 
politics  of  the  State  will'be  a  contest  between 
the  ignorance  and  vice  of  the  city  and  the  in- 
telligence and  well-being  of  the  country;  and 
so  long  every  infamous  public  crime,  whether 
it  be  slavery,  filibustering,  riotous  resistance  to 
the  laws,  or  open  rebellion,  will  find  its  vigor- 
ous supporters  among  the  squalid  and  vicious 
population  of  this  city.  Appeals  to  the  pas- 
sions, ignorance,  and  prejudice  of  this  class  are 
the  entire  political  stock  in  trade  of  men  like

Then  there' is  the  small  parly  of  original  Union- 
ists, of  whom  Mr.  Pbttigrd  was  a  chief.  They 
have  been  utterly  overpowered,  and  in  the  ruder 
districts  remorselessly  slaughtered  for  their  fideli- 
ty. Beside  these  there  arc  the  Unionists  of 
whom  Mr.  Aiken  is  a  representative;  those 
whose  sympathies  are  entirely  Sou  them  but 
who  thought  secession  a  dangerous  mistake. 
B»yond  these  is  the  great  party  of  those  who

Southern  States.  Despite  their  ignorance,  and 
the  careful  falsehood--  oi'  the  rebel  chief-,  they 
know  pcilcotly  well  that  the  Yankees  are  their 
friends.  Notwithstanding  the  criminal  blunders 
of  Generals  Halleck  and  M'Clellan,  a  sure 
instinct  keeps  the  slaves  true  to  us.  The  best 
information  for  our  annie,  and  fleets  conies  from 
them.  Escaping  Union  soldiers,  whether  in 
Loni-iana,  Ceorgiu,  Carolina,  or  Virginia,  make 
straight  for  the  negro  quarters.  There  they  are 
fed,  cheered,  and  guided.  One  officer,  mafiug 
bis  way  through  the  heart  of  the  rebel  region  to 
our  lines,  traveled  two  hundred  milts  without 
seeing  a  white  man.  He  went  by  night  and 
was  passed  along  to  freedom  by  friendly  black 
hands,  The  slaves  have  been  forced  to  work

ters are  not  ignorant  of  this,  al„l  therefore  they 
are  opposed  to  arming  them.  It  is  the  same

DAVIS  AND  LEE. 

Jefferson  Davis  is  evidently  no  longer  the 

chief  personage  in  the  rebellion.  As  President 
and  constitutional  Commander-in-Chief  he  has 
ihe  superiority  of  position,  but  among  rebels 
ulio.se  side  hope  is  the  army,  the  actual  Com- 
mander, when  beloved  and  trusied  as  Lee  is,  is 
ihe  true  master.  Doubtless  at  a  word  of  Lee's 
I) wis  would  fall  from  power  unpiUed.  and  Lee 
bt  saluted  absolute  Dictator  with  universal  con- 
sent  and  enthusiasm. 

The  reason  is  plain.  Jefferson  Davis  is 
an  old  politician,  and  a  cold,  hard,  ambitious 
man.  His  position  has  excited  envy  and  an- 
<.a:-n  i:  dislikes,  and  with  the  evident  failure  of  the 
lebellion  which  he  ha-  conducted,  all  opposition 
become-  mingled  haired  and  conn  nipt,      No  new 

hostility,  while  an  old  political  leader  brought 
with  him  the  grudges  of  a  liteiime  to  add  to 
those  he  daily  kindled.  Nor  is  there  any  thing 
in  Davis's  character  or  manner  to  relieve,  in 

failure,  the  jealousy,  suspicion,  and  antipathy 
which,  even  if  successful,  he  could  not  have  es- 

The  sunshine  of  success  would  have  gilded 
i  defects  of  Davis.  But  in  the  dark  hour  of 
prolonged  and  terrible  a"  struggle  as  this  has 
been— when  the  earlier  lights  of  victory  are  go- 
it  in  utter  gloom— when  the  larger  part  of 
their  territory  is  occupied  and  paralyzed,  and  the 
general  apathy  and  despair  of  the  population 
foretell  their  certain  failure— the  rebels  who  still 
hold  out  naturally  cling  with  entire  devotion  to 
a  soldier  who  has  shared  all  the  personal  dangers 
of  their  enterprise,  who  had  no  political  ante- 
cedents, who  was  the  object  of  no  old  prejudices, 
jealonsies,  or  quarrels  whatever,  and  who  seems 
to  them  at  once  a  great  captain,  i

in  his  remarks  before  the  Joint  Committee  of 
the  Senate  and  Assembly,  from  which  we  take 
these  facts,  "proves  that  at  least  half  a  million 
of  its  population  [the  city  of  New  York]  are 
ernlly  submerged  in  filth,  and  half-stifled  in  an 
atmosphere  charged  with  all  the  elements  of  1 


parent  modesty  and  fidelity.  The  rebels  respect 
themselves  in  him.  While  he  remains  all  is 
not  lost.  The  very  doubt  whether  they  could 
persuade  him  to  seize  supreme  power  is  proba- 
bly to  their  minds  his  brightest  ornament. 

Indeed,  while  Davis  is  to  the  rebels  very 
much  what  James  Second  was  to  the  Jacobites 
in  England,  Lre  has  all  the  ehivalric  charm  of 
Prince  Charles  the  Pretender.  The  roman-

TRADE  WITH  REBELS. 

1'he  order  of  Gener.il  Guam-  prohibiting  nil

n  sense.  Nothing 
;  absurd  for  a  Gen- 


Sheridan  to  destroy  property  and 
Y,,-::n,;:>  iHxl  Cmvlina.  while  he  supplied  the 
enemy  with  money  in  Louisiana  or  Georgia.  It 
is  a  subject  upon  which  faithful  Union  men  have 
differed.  It  has  been  the  opinion  of  some  that 
for  every  million  of  dollars  the  rebels  received 
in  exchange  for  cotton,  the  Union  cause  gained 
live  millions  of  advantage.  But  a  million  to 
the  rebels  is  more  valuable  than  twenty  millions 
to  us  ;  and  even  if  it  were  theoretically  proba- 
ble that  those  who  received  the  greenbacks 
would  hoard  tbem  or  invest  them  beyond  the 
control  of  the  rebellion,  it  was  still  practically 
true  that  we  could  never  be  sure  of  such  a  dis- 
position, and  that  we  know  how  unsparing  the 
rebel  scrutiny  and  impressment  is. 

Not  is  the"  necessary  demoralization  of  such  a 


profits  of  such  a  trade.  Why 
should  we  be  angry  that  we  were  not  believed 
to  be  in  earnest  when  we  insisted  upon  trifling? 
Or  why  should  we  expect  fidelity  or  bravery  in 
an  army  before  the  enemy,  when  the  soldiers 
knew  that  we  had  supplied  the  means  to  procure 
the  arms  with  which  the  enemy  was  to  destroy 
them?  The  most  shameful  and  humiliating 
event  in  the  whole  war  was  the  Red  River  expe- 
dition. Is  there  any  body  in  the  country  so 
dull  as  not  to  know  that  it  was  a  trading  and 
not  a  military  expedition? 

General  Grant  is  willing  and  able  to  fight 
the  enemy,  but  not  to  feed  him  and  furnish  him 

to  Fredericksburg  and  the  seizure  and  destruc- 
tion of  the  tobacco  was  as  legitimate  a  military 
operation  as  the  battle  of  Chancellorville.  But 
in  tha  latter  case  the  rebels  won  a  victory;  in 
the  former  we  prevented  their  winning  one. 
And  General  Banks  declares  that  the  misrepre- 
sentations ot  his  career  in  Louisiana  sprang  orig- 
inally from  traders,  whose  transactions  be  would 
not  tolerate.  The  deadly  injury  that  this  trade 
1ms  already  done,  by  the  aid  it  has  rendered  to 
the  rebellion,  is  incalculable,  and  General  Grant 
adds  to  his  claims  to  national  gratitude  by 
peremptorily  stopping  it. 


A  DANIEL  COME  TO  JUDGMENT. 

Ok  the  11th  of  March,  1861,  the  Constitu- 
tion of  "the  Confederate  States  of  America" 
was  adopted  at  Montgomery.  It  began  by  set- 
ting forth  the  doctrine  of  State  sovereignty  a- 
the  foundation  of  the  Confederacy.  "We,  the 
people  of  the  Confederate  States,  each  State  act 


ghost  of  nationality,  that  hopeless  shift  of 
vided  sovereignty  against  which  our  old  c> 
federation  and  the  universal  experience  of  m 
kind  protested.     But  supreme  State  sovereig; 
the  rebel  chiefs  would  have,  and  they  gravely  be- 
gan to  build  their  fire  upon  the  back  of  the 
whale.       "That  is  no  island,"  cried  history; 
"we  have  tried  it,  and  it  is  only  a  fish's  back." 
"Pooh!"  retorted  the  gallant  gentlemen,  "do 
you  pretend  to  teach  us  who  have  had  Calhoun 
for  our  master  1"     And  they  made  the  fire  hot- 
ter  and  hotter.     Suddenly  the  whale  dived,  and 
they  are  left  wallowing. 

They  have  learned  by  their  own  experience 
what  they  refused  to  learn  from  that  of  the 
world,  that  fire  burns,  that  when  each  State  acts 
in  its  sovereign  and  independent  character  there 
is  no  nation,  and  the  league  is  just  as  strong  as 
the  weakest  State,  and  no  stronger. 

This  is  the  unpleasant  but  unhesitating  con- 
fession made  by  the  Richmond  Enquirer,  the 
chief  rebel  paper,  just  four  years  after  the  sol- 


States, 

this  principle  of  State  sovereignty  was  continu- 
ally obtruding  itself,  delaying  and  preventing 
the  legislation  necessary  to  the  common  defense, 
impairing  that  authority  intrusted  with  the  gen- 
eral welfare,  and  impeding  the  execution  of  laws 
necessary  and  proper  to  the  success  of  the  cause, 
is  it  to  be  supposed  that,  when  peace  returns, 
this  principle  of  State  sovereignty  will  permit 
the  Confederacy  to  exist  one  year? The  con- 
duct of  certain  States,  in  their  opposition  to  the 
laws  passed  for  the  organization  of  the  army  and 
the  preservation  of  discipline,  has  caused  many 
men  to  reconsider  their  long-cherished  doctrine 
of  State  sovereignty,  and  to  come  to  the  conclu- 
sion that,  while  in.  theory  it  is  beautiful  and 
true,  in  fact  and  practice  it  is  utterly  defective." 
This  was  exactly  what  Washington  and 
Hamilton  said  eighty  years  ago,  and  the  Amer- 
ican people,  believing  them,  utterly  and  forever 
renounced  the  insane  whim  of  State  sovereignty, 
and  established  National  sovereignty.  If  our  fa- 
thers had  not  been  a  great  deal  wiser  than  their 
recreant  children  at  the  South,  this  Government 
could  never  have  mastered  a  rebellion  which 
would  have  conquered  any  other  Government  in 
the  world.  We  have  proved  the  inestimable 
value  and  the  triumphant  strength,  of  union. 
The  rebels  have  illustrated  the  weakness  and 
folly  of  federation.     State  sovereignty  is  nearly

upon  the  door,  this  tap  upon  the  lock,  this  step  upon 
the  turf,  this  strange  rough  whisper— it  made  the 
desolation  of  the  place  strike  him  with  a  kind  of 
awe  ;  ho  knew  that  haze  wrapped  the  knoll  itself, 
that  all  below  and  uround'  it  was  waist-deep  in  soft 
cool  white  vapor,  an  airy  cloudy  sea  in  which  cry 
or  murmur  would  at  any  distance  fall  equally  dull 
and  dead;  there  were  not  even  enough  star-beams 
sifted  into  the  haze  about  them  for  him  to  discern 
his  assailants  plainly  when  they  should  have  flung

THE  VAMPIRE'S  WHIST. 

I  uavk  always  been  considered  a  safe  player,  and 
have  generally  managed  to  economize  my  club-ex- 
penses at  the  whist-table.  I  never  played  high, 
nor  was  my  game  dashing;  moderate  stakes  and 
prudent  play  carried  inc  unscathed  through  many  a 
combat.  The  chief  secret  of  my  success  was  that  I 
never  lost  my  head.  I  knew  my  cards  with  the 
hist  arrangement,  and  never  needed  look  on  them 
again.  My  eyes  were  on  the  tablo ;  I  never  had  to 
ask  w  ho  played  this  or  that  card ;  never  one  second 
vacillated  in  tho  plan  of  my  campaign.  If  you  can

a  coquettish  air— would  mend  itself  every  day,  as

And  so  he  did.  For  the  mother  was  one  of  thoso

middle  agent  sixty,  and  who  positively  refuse  to  be 
old  at  eighty  ;  trim,  well-dressed,  coquettish ;  with 
very  white  teeth  and  very  blue  eyes,  a  little  closed 
at  the  corners,  as  if  the  edges  had  been  badly  cut 
and  bungled  in  the  hemming — eyes  that  were  af-

And  Laura  went. 

"Well,  did  I  do  you  a  great  deal  of  harm,  my 
dear?"1  said  the  man,  after  he  had  kissed  her,  hold- 
ing her  still  in  his  arms  and  looking  at  her  with  a 
strange  expression. 

"No,"  blushed  Laura,  and  stammered  and  tried 
to  free  herself  from'him. 

"But you  didn't  like  it,  eh?"  and  the  vindictive 
expression  that  seemed  the  only  one  really  natural 
to  him  came  into  his  face  for  the  second  time  in  this 
short  interview. 

Laura  was  silent ;  her  mother  gave  her  a  sharp, 
sidelong  look,  and  her  uncle  frowned  heavily  ;  and 
the  young  wife  felt  instinctively  that  a  web  was 


neither  the  outlet  nor  the  extent. 

"Of  course  you  know  what  I  have  come  for, 
Louisa?"  then  said  Sam,  turning  to  Mrs.  Brough- 
ton,  and  running  his  fingers  through  his  short, 
curled,  crisp  hair. 

She  tossed  her  head  and  made  her  flaxen  ringlets 
dance,  "The  old  story,  I  suppose  !"  But  though 
she  tried  to  speak  with  jaunty  unconcern  the  intense 
shrillness  of  her  voice  a  little  betrayed  her,  and  her 
squint  became  painful  to  witness. 
Exactly  so,"  said  Sam,

said    Mrs.  Bronghton,    with    touching    humility  of

"Yes,  mamma,  I  know— I  didn't  mean  that—"

go.  I  have  only  one  resource,"  with  a  desperate 
cast  of  his  hard  black  eyes  upward,  and  a  clenching 
of  his  hairy  hand  against  his  breast,  and  a  setting 
of  his  teeth,  and  the  hard  sucking  in  of  the  breath 
through  them— "only  one;  the  poison  or  the  knife! 
What  matters?"  more  softly.  "Who  will  miss  me  ? 
a  gond-lor-nothing  vagabond  like  me— let  him  go!" 

Mrs.  Bronghton  gave  a  faint  kind  of  Jiowl  and 
squinted  out  of  the  corners  of  her  eyes.  Laura 
sobbed  pitcously.  "I  will  tell  Gordon  all,  and  I 
am  sure  ho  will  not  mind,"  she  then  said,  and  drew 
out  her  purse— Iier  new  brown  Rus-ia  leather  purse, 
which  Gordon  had  given  her  specially  for  the  house-

Gordon  might  he  expected  home  at  any  moment.

Then  she  walked  across  the  room  with  the  heaviest

she  passed,  and  clattering  the  fire-irons ;  and  when 
she  got  to  the  door,  she  opened  it  noisily  and  shut 
it  again  with  a  loud  slam,  walking  over  the  hall  in 
the  same  way,  and  wishing  "Good-night"  at  the 


culled  down  the  kitchen  stairs:  "I  hrft-e  locked  up

"What  does  the  wife  say?"  said  Gordon,  for 
ura's  sudden  bounding  to  him,  so  unlike  what 
d  been  of  late,  had  delighted  Mm  into  a  playful-

dancing  her  flaxen  ringlets  merrily.  "Yon  villain  I 
if  you  are  not  quiet  I  will  give  you  up  to  the  police,' 


still  the  same  wild  sobs  and  moans  in  the  air,  like 
the  souls  of  the  lost  come  back  to  the  scene  of  their 
sins  and  their  sorrows  ;  still  the  same  sense  of  dan- 
ger hanging  round  the  night,  and  of  evil  threaten- 
ing the  future.  Laura  could  not  sleep  for  those 
ghastly  noises;  and  even  Gordon,  tired  as  he  was, 
was  feveri-h  and  disturbed,  and  restless  like  herself. 
"What  is  that?"  he  cried  suddenly,  starting  up 


It  was  a  small  grating  noise,  such  as  might  be  made 
by  a  lile,  and  sounded  like  the  filing  of  a  bolt.  It 
sounded  like  the  filing  of  the  bolt  in  the  dining- 
room,  as  well  as  they  could  judge.  Presently  it 
ceased,  and  then  they  both  distinctly  heard  a  door 
open,  and  a  fioft  and  stealthy  foot  creeping  up  the 

"Some  one  is  in  the  house!"  cried  Gordon,  dash- 
ing on  his  clothes,  and  flung  open  the  bedroom  door 
— flung  it  open  face  to  face  with  a  swarthy,  shabby, 
ill-conditioned  man,  stealing  across  the  passage  with 
bare  feet,  and  holding  a  dark  lantern  in  his  hand. 

A  muttered  oath  on  the  one  side,  but  nothing 
save  the  breath  drawn  hard  on  the  other,  and  then 
the  two  men  sprang  together  in  a  grapple  that 
seemed  for  life  or  death.  A  long  and  silent  and 
deadly  grapple :  Laura's  one  wild  shriek  before  she 
fainted  lost  in  the  wilder  noises  of  the  night:  a 
struggle  that  meant  more  than  the  mere  physical 
mastery  of  the  moment,  that  was  the  antagonism 
of  spirits  and  the  fight  of  fate  with  will ;  a  struggle 
that  might  leave  tho  bad  triumphant  over  good, 
and  destroy  the  very  life  of  the  household  forever. 
That  long,  fierce,  silent  struggle  ! — only  the  sound 
of  the  men's  breaths  drawn  hard  and  fast,  and  tho 
slipping  of  their  feet  on  the  floor,  and  the  heavy

an  Angel  of  God  wandering  through  the  homes  of 

night  with  a  blessing  that  never  departed  or  faded 

SHADOW  OF  DEATH. 

t  was  for  a  time  far  bovom 
lat  the  Druid  was  no  othe 


,  when  the  air  was  still  and  shrouded,  ; 
leaves  were  slowly  dropping  from  the  tr. 
salt  green  sea  cast  its  tribute  of  wrack  i 


i  drew  near  and  saluted

my  king,  who  loved  me  well,  loves.me  no  more, 
nor  seeineth  to  heed  me,  and  I  have  given  him  mv 
father's  crown,  and  loved  him  with  inv  whole  heart. 
What  must  I  do  to  awaken  his  love?" 
And  the  second  suppliant  spake  and  said: 
"  0  Druid!   I  am  a  knight  and  I  loved  a  lady 


I  Druid !    I  am  a  bard, 


"O  Druid!  I  am  a  seeker  of  knowing 
love  my  race,  and  have  imparted  to  them  th 
1  have  read  in  the  -tars  and  gathered  from  i 
of  the  earth:  but  they  love  me  not,  nor  rei 
lessons.     What  must  I  do  to  awaken  their 

And  the  sixih  suppliant  -pake  ami  -aid; 

"O  Druid  I  I  am  not  great,  nor  wise,  r 


"O  Druid!  I  am  a  mother,  and  I  love  iny  only 

or  wisdom,  to  give  him  ;  but  I  gave  him  what  was 
more  precious  than  them  all— a  mother's  love.  Yet 
he  loves  me  not.     What  must  I  do  to  awaken  hi? 


Then  the  seven  suppliants  stood  silent,  and  the 
Druid  sat  still  for  a  little  space.  And  the  night 
had  fallen  while  they  spake,  and  the  fire  had  burned 
low,  and  the  cave  of  the  Druid  was  dark.     And  it 

came  to  pass,  as  they  waited  patiently,  that  the 


n-  mist  were  idling  It.      And, 
.  of  a  beautiful  youth,  nmre  I 


shall  awaken  him.-"  And  h. !  there  came  through 
the  mist  a  train  of  beautiful  forms,  and  each  of  them 
passed  by  the  couch  of  Love,  and  strove  to  waken 
him  with  kisses  and  with  tears.  And  some  tried 
hollow  smiles,  though  their  eyes  were  dim ;  and 
others  were  seen  to  wring  their  hands  and  kneel  at 
his  feet  in  agony  ;  and  others  brought  him  crown-, 
and  sceptres,  and  gold,  and  gems,  and  stars  of  honor, 
and  wreaths  of  fame,  and  they  cried  with  exceeding 


of  the  grave;  and  it  passed  slowly  nearer  and  nearer 
to  the  couch,  till  its  shadow  fell  like  the  Bhadow  of 
a  cloud  over  Love  as  he  slept. 

Then  Love  sprang  up  with  a  wild  and  terrible 

had  striven  to  waken  him  so  long,  but  who  now 
were  passed  away  beyond  his  reach  forever.     And 

the  Druid  turned'  mournfully  to  tho  suppliants  and 
said:  "Only  this  solace  have  I  for  your  aching 
hearts,  Sleeping  Love  will  waken  when  ©ver

OUE  KELATIONS  WITH  ENGLAND. 

IT  is  a  very  instructive  recreation  to  compare 
the  Lite  debate  upon  " 


nil  that  the  law  required,  w 

.lmekstox,  with  jaunty  insolence,  said  that 
;  Government  had  no  thoiiL'ht  whatever  of 
tiny  a  change  in  the  law.  The  British  Gov- 
lmcnt  thouglit  The  United  States  were  in  ex- 
mity,  and  politely  sneered.     It  was  very  ex- 


The  radically  different  tone  of  the  recent  de- 

under a  commission  of  one  of  the  acknowledged 

bate  is  the  result  of  success.     It  was  the  sincere 

belligerents,  it  is  certainly  a  question  whether 

opinion  of  Mr.  Gladstone,  Chancellor  of  the 

she  is  properly  and  technically  a  pirate. 

ThiB  is  but  one  illustration  of  the  arguments 

was  strong  enough  to  subdue  so  enormous  a  re- 

which mny  be  urged  for  the  conduct  of  the  Brit- 

bellion as  that  of  the  slave  interest  against  the 

ish  Government  during  the  war.     Yet  with  the 

Union.     He  was  confident  that  England  could

Parliament,  and  the  tone  of  the  speeches  of  the 

sure  that  the  United  States  could  not  do  it.     He 

British  Ministers,  it  is  hardly  possible  that  when 

being  done  — when  they  reflect  upon  the  tri- 
umphant army  and  navy  which  this  Government 
has  organized,  and  remember  how  unfriendly 

their  official  action  has  hecn,.thoy  naturally  ask

ridel's  the  British  Governmen 
unfriendly  haste  in  granting 
jerent  rights— that  the  British  1 


ernment  and  the  war— that  a  large  part  of  the 
English  press  has  constantly  and  meanly  ma- 

bered,  but  neither  nation  will  go  to  war  about 
it.  A  great  deal  of  what  Lord  Russell  and 
Mr.  Gladstone  said  was  due  to  their  profound 
ignorance  of  the  character  of  our  Government 
and  i  if  the  spirit  of  the  people ;  a  great  deal  also 
was  to  be  justified  by  the  statements  made  by 
Mr.  Dallas,  the  retiring  minister  under  the 
Buchanan  administration,  and  by  the  general 
tendency  of  opinion  in  .

NEW  YOKE  LEGISLATION. 

It  is  customary  to  revile  the  Legislature  of 
New  York  as  the  most  venal  body  in  the  coun- 
try. At  the  Chicago  Convention  of  I860,  which 
nominated  Mr.  Lincoln,  the  most  serious  op- 
position to  the  nomination  of  Mr.  Sewakd  sprang 
from  the  fearwhich  extended  from  Maine  to  Iowa 
that  his  election  would  transfer  Albany  to  Wash- 
ington. The  whole  country  reads  the  New  York

severity.  Their  system  was  Stafford's  ' '  thor-

when  they  came  into  power,  having  seen  the 
method  and  results  of  the  regency,  continued

of  the  fruits  of  improving  legislation.  The  V 
ing  Registry  law  was  another.  Meanwhile 
venality  of  the  Legislature  was  still  loudly 
firmed,  but  the  Lobby  was  less  confident;  i 
the  defeat  of  the  bill  to  increase  the  rates  of

of  the  majority  of  the  Legislature  over  the  m

Dear  Mr.  Editor,— The  mo-t  appalling  incident

known  to  have  been  in  the  skirmish  before  Rich- 
mond on  the  7th  of  October,  18(54,  and  has  not  been 
heard  of  since.  If  he  has  been  taken  prisoner,  it  is 
hoped  that,  through  mention  in  our  papers,  he  may 
become  aware  of  his  father's  great  anxiety  to  hear 
of  him  before  returning  to  Africa. 


The  same  house  has  just  published  the  second

His  interest  in  the  Indian  annaW  and  our  relations 
with  the  Indians  was  profound,  and  his  knowledge 
was  so  extensive  and  accurate  that  his  works  upon 
the  subject  have  a  permanent  value.  Mr.  Stohe's 
sympathy  was  so  heartily  appreciated  by  the  red 
men  that  the  Seneca3  adopted  him  as  one  of  their 
chiefs.  For  some  years  before  his  death  he  had 
projected  a  Life  of  Sir  William  Johnson,  and  had 
collected  abundant  material,  including  a  large  por- 
tion of  Sir  William's  manuscripts;  but  soon  after 
beginningthe  biography  Mr.  Stonf  died.  His  son, 
of  the  same  name,  has  piously  fulfilled  his  father's 
work,  and  in  two  goodly  volumes  has  related  the 
story  of  Sir  William  and  his  times.  The  material 
was  copious,  and  has  been  conscientiously  and  skill- 
fully used.  Mr.  Stone  has  made  a  valuable  con- 
tribution to  the  history  of  the  country,  and  espe- 
cially to  that  of  New  York.     If  two  volumes  seem

in  his  bright  blue  eye,  a  curl  of  suppressed  fun  and 
good-humor  about  his  mobile  mouth,  which  bespoke 
magnificent  schemes.  Poor  Mahon  !  His  plans  were 
generally  on  the  inverted  pyramid  system  ;  from  a 
point  of  a  ba-e  what  a  spreading  superstructure

upright  as  of  yore,  his  line  aquiline  face  beaming 
with  the  light  of  tho  childlike  heart  within. 

"Delighted  to  see  you,  Tulloch,  my  boy!"  ho 
exclaimed.  "Faith,  you  arc  a  fine-looking  Yellow.

The  Wands  were  irreproachable,  and  if  tho  at- 
tendance were  reproachable,  there  was  an  honest 
jollity  about  the  whole  thing  that  was  charming. 

The  jumping  up  for  bread,  the  hunting  in  improva- 
ble corners  for  the  cork-screw,  the  indiscriminate 

benevolent  striving  to  save  Matilda  from  additional 
runs  up  and  down  stairs,  gave  a  cheerful  picnic  as- 
pect to  the  entertainment.  Then  the  joyous  hospi- 
tality of  our  host!  How  he  beamed  upon«s  from 
behind  the  leg  of  mutton  and  praised  it,  and  said 
what  a  bargain  it  was  (indeed  this  was  the  case 
with  every  thing  at  table),  and  dropped  unexpect-

in reach,  and  made  surprising  ' '  long  arms"  to  those 
that  were  not,  and  pressed  us  to  drink  the  beer  and 
the  sherry,  and  apologized  for  not  having  port ;  but 
that  little  miser  Kale  would  not  let  him  have  any, 
"though,  faith,  he  was  the  first  of  his  name  that 
ever  was  without  a  bottle  of  the  best ;  not  that  you 
are  a  miser,  my  darling,  but  prudent,  and  here's

Tulloch  was  loud  and  emphatic  in  his  prai

on  her  with  such  undisguised  admiration  that

Tlien  Kate  sat  down  to  the  piano,  and  song  us 
porno  Scotch  and  Irish  ballade  with  simple  pathos, 
and  in  just  the  rich  sweet  voice  you  might  expect 

We  returned  in  an  omnibus  that  night  as  usual, 
and  before  wo  had  proceeded  half-way,  a  little  elder- 
ly pah- foreign-looking  woman,  who  sat  upon  the  op- 
posite side  from  lis,  suddenly  discovered  that  she 
had  lost  her  purse.  She  was  respectably  dressed, 
in  well-preserved  but  faded  black,  and  it  was  piti- 
able to  see  the  fierce  trembling  anxiety  with  which 
she  shook  herself  and  disturbed  every  one. 

'■Mais  bon  Dien!  I  had  it  when  I  got  in  the  om-

"  Where  '<"  cried  Kate,  eagerly. 

I  pointed  him  out,  and,  as  I  looked  in  her  si 
in;.'  fare,  could  not  help  fancying  her  counter 
changed  and  her  color  paled. 

1  he  lady  beside  whom  Tulloch  walked  was  a 
middle  b- audit  and  plump,  not  to  say  fat.     She 


nance,  and  she  looked  the  very  picture  of  material 
case  and  comfort.  She  was  richly  and  becomingly 
dressed,  evidently  by  a  good  artiste,  and  her  whole 
appearance  was  in  perfect  accordance  with  the  re- 
quirements of  conventionality. 

Tulloch  seemed  to  pay  assiduonB  court  to  her, 
and  Hie  lade  seemed  well  pleased. 

"  Don't  you  know  who  it  is?"  said  Kate.

Kate  smiled  (a  bitter  smile). 

"Mr.  Tulloch  is  on  his  good  behavior  to-day," 
she  said ;   "  he  must  not  acknowledge  his  country 

I  laughed  somewhat  uneasily,  for  I  felt  unspeak- 
ably vexed.  Here  had  this  fellow  been  indulging 
in  the  cordial  delight  of  those  friendly  evenings 
with  poor  old  Mahon  and  his  daughters,  and  doing 
his  best  to  persuade  Kate  he  was  in  love  with  her,

"Ah,  noble  heart!  Ever  the  same  from  child- 
hood," cried  the  delighted  Frenchwoman.  "  I  must 
go  with  thee;  yet  will  I  not  long  bo  a  burden.  I 
shall  gain  strength  and  confidence  amidst  your  kind

tleman who  bo  kindly  assisted  me  the  other  even- 
ing!    Sir,  you  have  brought  me  good  fortune." 

How  Mahon  welcomed  the  poor  lonely  French- 
woman and  treated  her  as  if  she  were  a  princess, 
and  talked  of  all  tho  obligations  he  was  under  to 
her,  and  how  he  mixed  her  a  tumbler  of  whisky- 
punch  (which  was  abomination  to  her  French  pal- 
ato),  and  how  he  gloried  in  her  reminiscences  of  his 
past  grandeur,  and  confided  to  her  his  prospects  of 
future  splendor,  would  take  a  far  more  eloquent  pen 
than  this  poor  pen  of  mine  to  describe. 

1  dare  say  it  was  all  very  imprudent.  Never- 
theless, if  the  recording  angel's  office  be  not  abol- 
ished in  these  bard  times,  that  nights  work  was  a 
grand  entry  for  his  glorious  volume. 

Tulloch  was  in  a  sad  state  about  this  proceeding 
of  Kate's.  In  fact,  tho  whole  family  went  down  I 
don't'kiiow  how  many  per  cent,  through  so  flagrant

concluding  operations  of  the  war  in  its  chief 
battle-field  of  Virginia  should  have  been  per- 
sonally directed  by  the  simple,  silent,  sagacious, 
tenacious  soldier,  whose  name  will  be  always 
precious  in  the  national  heart,  the  Lieutenant- 
General  of  the  armies  of  the  United  States. 

It  is  a  natural  speculation  to  wonder  what 
the  rebels  will  do  next.  Their  leaders  are  not. 
men  who  will  relinquish  the  struggle  until  the 
defeat  and  disappearance  of  their  soldiers  assure 
them  that  there  is  no  other  alternative.  Those 
soldiers  comprise  the  most  desperate  men  of  the 
insurrection,  and  their  figbting  at  Fort  Stead- 

mendous  days  that  destroyed  their  cause  before 
Petersburg,  shows  that  then,  at  least,  they  were 
not  demoralized.  If  Lee  can  escape  with  any 
considerable  force  tolerably  well  organized  he 
will  join  Johnston,  and  either  make  for  the 
mountains  or  for  the  Southwest;  or,  possibly, 
upon  a  calm  military  survey  of  the  situation, 
considering  his  ghastly  disaster  in  Virginia  and 
the  comparative  fewness  of  his  defeated  troops,

As  for  the  country, 
and  inspired  by  its  success,  it  has  learned  what 
it  did  not  know  at  firsthand  that  is,  what  it  is 
fighting  for.  While  it  has  been  defending  its 
Government,  assailed  by  rebels,  it  has  learned 
that  the  assault  was  made  in  the  interest  of  a

An  earlier  and  easier  victory  would  have  blind-

would  have  made  the  next  shock  of  inevitable 
war  even  more  perilous  than  this  has  been.  Bull

barbarism. 

And  now,  with  no  hatred  of  our  fellow-citi- 
zens with  whom  we  have  fought,  and  whom  we 
know  were  deluded  by  leaders  who  can  never 
be  forgiven,  without  scorn  or  vituperation,  but 
with  devout  gratitude  to  Almighty  God  for  this 
crowning  mercy,  let  us  all,  remembering  the 
young  and  brave  by  whom  we  have-been  saved, 
the  eyes  that  are  dim  and  the  hearts  that  are 
breaking,  even  in  this  hour  of  jubilee,  resolve 
that  the  peace  they  have  secured  for  us  shall  be 
as  broad  as  liberty  and  as  eternal  as  justice.

ART  CRITICISM. 


tional  Academy  of  I 
upon  an  exhibition  of  _ 

burnishing  their  pens 
and  preparing  for  their  duties.     The  experi- 


will  be  radical  differences  of  opinion,  and  that 
frank  and  fearless  censure  both  of  the  spirit  and 
the  manipulation  of  pictures  will  not  always  be 
agreeable  to  the  artists.  It  is  only  fair  that 
there  should  be  no  avoidable  misunderstanding; 
and  as  we  are  friendly  to  the  artists,  and  shall 
not  hesitate  to  say  what  we  think  of  the  pictures 
upon  exhibition,  we  will  state  what  we  believe 
to  be  the  limits  of  just  and  generous  criticism. 
f  pic- 
study  enslaved  by  no 
clique,  while  the  judgment 
of  the  impression 
•casra  recoil  upon 
may  easily  excite  a  preju- 


livelihood  of  many 
men  and  women,  will  wantonly  injure  them  un- 
less he  is  very  contemptible. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  critic  can  not  forget 
that  he  has  undertaken  to  say  what  he  sincerely 
thinks  of  certaiu  objects  of  general  public  inter- 
est, and,  if  he  have  a  true  sense  of  honor,  he  will 
no  more  speak  falsely  about  a  picture  than  about 

has  duties  to  the  artist  he  has  them  none  the  less 
to  the  public :  and  if  a  man  exposes  a  wretched 
daub,  hoping  that  nobody  will  discover  it,  an- 
other man  who  says  that  it  is  good,  or  who,  hav- 
ing assumed  to  speak,  allows  his  silence  to  be 
construed  as  approbation,  is  merely  accomplice 
in  an  imposition.  On  the  other  hand,  if  a  critic 
were  to  visit  a  gallery,  and  speak  only  of  the 
pictures  that  he  could  honestly  praise,  those  that 


censured  by  his  silence.  If  a  man's  object-  is  to 
say  pleasant  things  it  is  a  very  excellent  object, 
and  we  wish  him  unvaried  success.  But  if  he 
wishes  to  criticise  pictures,  or  books,  or  human 
conduct,  or  character,  he  will  often  be  compelled

they  whistle  out  of  tune  or  quote  poetry  incor- 
rectly. In  treating  of  their  poor  pictures  an 
overpowering  solemnity  of  wrath  is  untimely. 
It  recoils.  It  is  crucifying  a  moth.  It  is  pro- 
claiming figs  in  the  name  of  the  prophet. 

But  while  a  poor  picture  does  not  betray  a 
bad  heart  in  the  painter,  a  very  clever  picture 
may  be  df  very  corrupting  influence ;  and  the 
critic  who,  in  looking  at  any  work,  whether  in 

to  public  morals,  is  certainly  bound  to  say  so. 
He  may  be  mistaken,  of  course.  Another  man 
may  be  differently  affected.  But  it  would  be 
very  foolish  for  one  reader  of  Byron's  "Don 
Juan"  to  refrain  from  condemning  what  he 
thought  to  be  the  licentious  tendency  of  the 
poem  because  another  reader  thought  better  of 
it,  even  though  the  other  reader  were  Shelley,

time  encountered  the  tales  of  Paul  db  Kock, 
not  knowing  who  wrote  them,  could  M.  de  Kock

character  if  he  advised  his  friends  not  to  read

iral,  we  must  carefully  hold  our  tongues,  and 
permit  the  public  mind  to  be  corrupted,  lest 
;  feelings  of  the  corrupter  should  be  hurt.  If, 
leed,  a  critic  should  gravely  declare  that  the 
idonnas  of  Raphael  were  demoralizing  pie- 
*es,  he  would  only  make  himself  ridiculous. 
it  if  he  said  that  Correggio's  Io  was  a  work 
lich  might  harm  young  people  the  critic  might

t  be  fairly  angry.  Or  to  take  an  illustration 
hand.  Gerome's  picture  of  the  Almee  is,  in 
r  opinion,  a  work  which  may  wisely  bo  ex- 
ited; but  if  X,  or  Y,  or  Z,  who  write  for 
ler  papers,  should  say  that  it  is  too  indecent 
be  publicly  seen,  we  should  not  at  once  an- 
suppose  they  meant  to  injure  M.  Gerome, 


It  is  for  this  fidelity  and  frankness  in  criti- 
cism which  distinguish  the  little  monthly  jour- 
nal called  The  Neiv  Path  that  we  are  glad 
to  see  it  taking  a  fresh  lease  of  life  and,  we 
hope,  of  public  attention.  Its  aim  is  single 
and  sincere.  If  its  criticisms  seem  to  any  one 
crude  and  unjust  and  severe,  they  yet  have  the 
radical  merit  of  honesty.  If  it  appear  to  favor 
a  new  and  unpopular  school  of  art,  it  is  because, 
in  common  with  some  of  the  acutest  and  most 
thoughtful  critics  of  the  time,  it  believes  the 
principles  of  that  school  to  be  correct.  If  it 
censure  the  departure  of  popular  art  from  the 
great  original,  Nature,  it  censures  in  good  faith 
and  before  the  public  judgment.  We  do  not  al- 
ways agree  with  what  it  says,  uor  can  we  al- 


THE  SPIRIT  OF  THE  SOUTH. 

The  important  question  is  the  disposition  of 
te  people  in  the  Rebel  States.  Are  the  people 
:tively  hostile  to  the  Government,  or  is  the 
rength  of  the  rebellion  in  the  army?  The 
aswer  to  these  questions  is  best  found  in  the 
ission  of  the  chief  rebel  jour- 


The  Richmond  Sentinel  of  March  30,  in  a 
very  long  and  serious  article,  says  truly  of  the 
opening  campaign  of  Grant,  Sherman,  and 
Thomas:  "Without  doubt  this  combination  is 
very  formidable,  and  installs  a  tremendous  cam- 
paign. It  is  to-be  the  life  and  death  struggle, 
the  crisis  and  solution  of  the  war.  Grant  is 
about  to  make  an  effort  full  of  peril  to  us,  but 
full  of  peril  also  to  himself.  He  will  give  us  a 
death  wound  or  we  will  give  him  his."  It 
proceeds  to  say  that  "the  great  question  is,  will 
our  people  do  their  duty?" 

TJre  Sentinel  was  Davis's  organ,  and  its  t

The  cardinal  fuct  of  the  situation  is  clearly 
read  in  its  own  late  editorials,  and  that  is,  that 
the  rebellion  is  as  strong  as  the  combined  army 
and  no  stronger.  It  does  not  actively  exist  in 
the  population  of  the  rebel  section.     And  when

GENERAL  GRANT'S  VICTORY. 

General  Lee's  attack  on  Guam''-*  right,  sen

of  tho  lino  of  works  opposed  to  them,  that  were 
over  held  by  an)-  army  in  any  war.  Though  Lee 
made  the-  iirat  attack,  Grant  had  nii.de  the  first 
move.  Tho  alternative  was  clearly  forced  upon 
General  Lek  either  to  break  Grant's  lines  or  to 
abandon  his  own.  And  it  would  not  he  long  that 
even  this  alternative  would  ho  left  him.  On  the

)  await  Gram's  combina- 

his  urmy.     These  combinations  were  now  nearly 

perfected — but  not  quite.     Sukh.man  had  not  made 

it.    Thomas  and  StbAdmam  had  not  quite  come  up 
on  his 

thi'v  were  swiftly  coming  . 
yet*  in  conjunction  with  Gkant's  army,  gained  a 
position  on  the  Southsido  Railroad— but  he  would  di- 
rectly gain  that  position.  Lee  knew  that,  Grant's 
army  was  already  massed  on  the  left  for  that  very 


chance  that  I  may  by  one  move  save  my  king  from 
checkmate— just  ono  move,  and  that  must  decide 
evorv  thins.'.  Grant  is  comparatively  weak  on  his 
right,  this  side  of  Citv  lViul,  on  the  Appomattox, 
at  a  point  held  by  the  Ninth  Army  Corps :  close  up 
to  the  river  is  Fort  MTIvrev.  thru  comes  Stcadman, 
then  Haskell.  This  position  at  Hare's  Hill  is  strong 
by  nature— so  much  the  better  for  me  if  by  surprise 
and  with  overpowering  numbers  I  can  take  it. 
Just  beyond  it  runs  Gram's  military  railroad  from 
City  Point,  completely  commanded  by  the  position. 
Fortunately,  too,  this  Hare's  Hill  is  just  under  my 
very  nose — there  are  not  more  than  two  hundred 
yards  between  it  aud  my  own  lines.     If  then,  to- 

is  so  short  a  space  to  be  traversed  by  the  assailiug 
columns  taut  the  surprise  will  be  quite  complete. 

Grant's  different  army  corps  are  scattered  along  a 
long  line  from  within  half  a  dozen  miles  of  Rich- 
mond to  Hatcher's  Run,  and  it  will  be  a  difficult 


1  my  right. 

In  accordance  with  this  plan  the  attack  waa 
made.     At   tho    first   blush    Fort   Steadman   was

Warren,  on  his  right.  On  Friday,  tho  31st,  the

de  Salis,  who  U.ui  i>\  this 
time  regained  all  her  natural  self-pusse.-siotl,  she 
neglected  nothing  that  might  further  the  deceit. 
She  threw  her  husband's  hat  into  the  garden  ;  aud 
then  going  down  to  her  hen-house,  killed  some  fowls, 
and  sprinkled  the  blood  about  the  prostrate  body. 

In  a  few  minutes  shrieks  and  cries  warned  the 
neighbors  that  something  had  happened  at  the  house 
of  De  Salis;  and  these,  rushing  in,  found  the  family 
in  the  act  of  lifting  up  the  body  from  the  earth.  It 
was  placed  upon  the  nearest  couch,  amidst  tears  and 
plaints ;  and  every  means  for  restoring  animation 
resorted  to  with  well-acted  assiduity.  These  ex- 
hausted, Madame  de  Salis  gave  herself  up  to  the 
-wildest  grief,  tearing  her  hair,  and  exhibiting  every 
token  of  despair ;  the  rest,  each  according  to  his

suspicion  of  foul  play  visited  their  mindB.  The 
medical  men  reported  that  M.  de  Salis  had  died 
from  injuries  received  in  an  accidental  fall,  and 
the  bereaved  family  were  quickly  left  to  the  free 
indulgence  of  their  sorrow. 

This  satisfactory  proceeding  removed  a  great 
source  of  anxiety.  The  whole  party,  excepting  the 
young  Louis-Cesar,  assembled  at  supper  with  re- 
newed courage,  the  mother  assuring  them  that, were 
they  but  true  to  themselves,  their  future  life  would 
be  far  happier  and  more  peaceful  than  hitherto. 

Matters  did  go  on  for  some  months  with  a  tran- 
quillity hitherto   foreign   enough  to  that  unhappy 

their  horizon.  M.  de  Salis  had  possessed  but  slen- 
der means  beyond  the  provision  he  received  from 
government.  The  family  soon  began  to  feel  the 
pressure  of  poverty;  and,  finding  their  resources  all 
but  exhausted,  tbe  sons — with  the  exception  of  An-

Biddy,  through  pure  good

the  heiress.  This  unknown  to  the  elder  Morans, 
who  would  sooner  have  seen  their  daughter  mistress 
of  Con  Lavelle's  fine  farm  at  Fawnmore.  Biddy's 
hints  and  Peggy's  handsome  eyes  had  until  to-night 

change.  Mike  was  remarkably  civil  to  both  of 
these  ladies.  He  tucked  Peggy's  flounces  care- 
fully away  from  the  fire,  and  helped  her  twice  to 
crackers.  Peggy  dimpled  and  blushed,  and  Biddy 
laughed  and  winked,  and  Mike  was  in  the  act  of 
pouring  the  water  and  the  tea-pot,  when  the  door 
was  pushed  open,  and  Maureen  and  her  friends

tune.  Whereupon  Maureen,  with  a  sly  laugh  in 
her  eyes,  asked  for  The  Little  House  under  tho 
Hill.     This  whs  Paudeen's  greatest  tune,  and  at  it

"Mother,"  said  Maureen,  "wherc's  the  tise  of

word,  mi  help  me  Christ,  my  Saviour!" 

Slowly,  and  with  a  stern  reverence  in  her  tone, 
Maureen  uttered  these  last  words,  her  eyes  on  the 
ground  and  her  hands  squeezed  together.  Con 
hung  his  head  and  hoped  no  more,  and  the  step- 
mother rocked  herself  to  and  fro  in  her  feebleness, 
and  raged  with  disappointment.

Maureen,  blushing,   fell  back  into   tho   shadows 

"  Lend  us  yer  arm,  Con/'  cried  the  step-mother, 
trying  to  Stand.  "Begone!"  she  shrieked,  shak- 
ing her  puny  fist  at  Mike,  "begone from  myhouso,

glanced  at  a  shadowy  corner  opposite,  "  that  Mau-

Presently  Con  Lavelle  began  to  change  his  de- 
meanor ;  growing  regular  and  systematic  in  his  at- 
tentions, sending  boys  to  cut  her  turf  and  carry  her 
rack,  and  do  odd  rough  jobs  for  her  by  stealth.  Her 
stern  rejection  of  these  real  services  made  very  lit- 
tle difference  to  Con,  who  went  steadily  on  laying 
siege  to  her  gratitude  iu  a  number  of  subtle  ways. 
The  step-mother  grew  more  sickly ;  and  how  could 
Maureen,  who  had  little  to  give  her,  turn  Nan  La- 
velle from  the  door,  when  she  came  smiling  in  of 

or  a  morsel  of  mutton  for  broth  ?  Or  how  could  she 
throw  in  the  fire  the  gay  new  nappikeen,  bought 
mi  the  last  fair  day,  which  the  widow  wore  tied  on 
her  head,  and  which  Con  had  not  dared  to  present 
to  Maureen  ?  Con  was  not  bold,  but  sly.  He  did 
nothing  that  Maureen  could  resent,  but  he  kept  her 


sunny  before  him.      Why  should  Mike  Tiernay  ie- 

So  tho  year  went  on,  and  October  came  round 
again.  As  the  end  of  the  month  drew  near  pub- 
lic excitement  ran  high.  Men  made  bets,  and 
kind-hearted  women  said  prayers  for  Maureen.  Con 
Lavelle  went  about  bis  farm  with  feverish  eyes  and 
a  restless  toot,  while  indoors  Nan  already  made  rare 
preparations.  At  the  North  Beach  the  step-mother 
chattered  incessantly  about  the  wedding,  and  her 
pride  that  a  daughter  of  hers  should  be  mistress  of 
Fawnmore  Farm.  As  the  days  narrowed  in  about 
her,  Maureen  struggled  hard  to  go  and  come  like 
"  "  and  blind.  She  made  ready  her 
knitting " 


r  new  gray  stockings, 
cloak,  bending  her 
contradicting  no  one, 


humble  iioiis-e 
and  stitching 
sharpened  face  over 
and  questioning  no

At  last  Hallow  Eve  arrived.    I

It  was  a  rough,  wild  night.  If  the  Bofiners  were 
less  hardy  a  race,  or  if  the  storm  had  commenced 
in  its  violence  an  hour  or  two  earlier,  Biddy  Pren- 
dergast  must  have  bad  few  guests  at  her  dance  that 
HaUow  Eve.  About  eight  o'clock  Nan  Lavelle  was 
bending  over  her  pot-oven  inspecting  the  " 


of  her  cakes,  and  Con   was  nailing  up 

tine  new 

curtain  on  the  kitchen-window,  to  make 

look  more  snug  than  usual.     The  wind  bellowed 

down  the  ehnnnev,  and  its  thunders  overh 

Suddenly 

the  dour  was  pushed  open,  and  Maureen  Lacey  came

"God  save  us!"  cried  Nan,  dropping  her  knife 


empting  to  draw  tho  wet  cloak  from  her  shoulders.

sping  her  hands  and  raising  her  wild  eyes  to  his

A  nivrht  like  this  hrings  spoils  to  the  island  shoren, 
and  many  are  abroad,  looking  right  and  left,  by 
break  of  day.  On  this  particular  morning,  at  early 
dawn,  two  men  were  hurrying  along  the  northeast 
headlands.  The  might  of  the  storm  had  subsided, 
and  the  black  night  was  blenching  to  a  pallid  gray. 
Streaks  of  purple  and  green  rode  over  the  seething 
ocean,  tinting  the  foam  of  the  tossing  surges,  whoso 
blinding  wreaths  thickened  the  air  like  angry  snow- 
drifts. Now  rosy  bars  began  blushing  out  from  the 
eastward,  glowing  and  spreading  till  they  looked 
like  the  trail  of  fiery  wings — the  fiery  wings  of  the 
"  of  Death,  passing  in  again  at  the  ( 


heaven.     Coming  t 


;  in  this  splendid  dawn 


li   iv:i-  Maureen,  in  her  wedding-gown  a 


>owl  got  so  wild-like.    If  I  was  Con  Lavelle  I  would 
"Sorra  fears  o'Condoin'any  sich  thing!"  laugh- 
o  now  ?     Mother  o'  marcy !  it's  not  go- 


"  Well!  "said  the  first,  "God  rest  the  poor  sowls 
that  arc  gone  to  their  rcck'nin'!  but  it's  an  ill  win' 
that  blows  nobody  good.  There'll  be  many'*:  the 
bit  of  a  thing  washin'  in  afore  nightfall.  Mau- 
reen !"  he  cried  out,  suddenly,  raising  his  voice  to 
a  roar.  "My  God!  I  was  feared  she  was  mad. 
Maureen!" 

A  long,  unearthly  cry  was  the  answer,  ringing 
through  the  dawn.  Maureen  had  been  crouching 
on  her  knees,  dangerously  bending  to  the  foam,  as 
if  searching  under  the  curve  of  each  breaker  as  it 
"crashed  up  and  split  its  boiling  froth  upon  the  rock. 
Now  she  rose  up  with  her  terrific  cry,  and,  throw- 
ing her  arms  wildly  over  her  head,  leaped  into  the 
sea  and  disappeared. 

Running  swiftly  down  the  headlands,  the  men 
gained  the  beach,  and  there  they  saw  Maureen,  not 
floating  out  to  sea  upon  tho  waves,  but  standing 
battling  with  them,  up  to  her  waist  in  the  seething 
foam,  clinging  with  one  hand  to  the  rock  beside 
her,  and  with  the  other  tugging  in  desperation  at 
something  dark  and  heavy  that  ruse  and  sank  with 


!iln  the  water,  the  nun  were  .piickly  at  her  -i

PALM  SUNDAY. 


IP 


day,  Peace,  amidst  sheathed  swords,  returned 
to  our  beloved  country.  So  great  an  event  our 
history  has  not  known.  For  Peace,  under  her 
joyous  palms,  brings  Justice  and  Union.  The 
light  that  mildly  beams  from  her  starry  brow  is 
the  light  of  liberty.     The  flag  that  was  lowered 


ward  will  doubt  what  that  flag  means. 

It  is  not  possible  in  the  moment  of  jubilee  to 
comprehend  the  scope  of  this  event.  The  vic- 
tory that  has  been  won  is  not  selfish  or  limited. 
It  is  not  an  American  victory  only.  It  is  the 
vindication  of  the  equal  rights  of  men  every 
where.  "Man,"  says  the  historian  Merivale, 
speaking  of  Julius  Cesar,  "can  not  def/man- 
kind  with  impunity."     No  class,  no  privilege, 

tice  to  men  can  withstand  the  course  of  civil- 
ization. That  God  works  in  history  is  only  a 
way  of  saying  that  the  progress  of  human  de- 
velopment will  inevitably  assert  itself  against  nil 
resistance.     Four  years  ago  it  was  hard  for  us 


in  this  country  to  believe  that  we,  too,  must  be 
forced  through  blood  and  sorrow  to  defend  this 
truth.  We  thought  we  fully  believed  it.  But 
in  the  fierce  glare  of  war  we  can  now  see  that 
even  this  sharp  and  bitter  struggle  was  neces- 
sary to  establish  our  own  principles  not  only 
before  the  world  but  in  our  own  hearts. 

Let  us  thank  God  thnt  we  have  not  faltered. 
Let  us  rejoice  that,  through  all  the  doubt  and 
darkness,  through  the  fires  of  opposing  guns, 
and  the  sneers  and  taunts  and  skepticism  of 
those  who  believed  and  wished  those  fires  might 
prevail,  the  great  heart  of  the  American  people 
has  beat  steadily  on  to  victory.  Nor  less  will 
we  thank  God  that  the  young  and  noble  who 
obeyed  the  call  of  their  brave  souls,  and,  leaving 
all  that  makes  life  dear  and  lovely,  gladly  died 
that  their  country  might  live,  have  not  died  in 
vain.  Peace  may  return,  but  the  precious  dar- 
lings of  a  thousand  hearts  and  homes  shall  re- 
turn no  more.  Those  whose  names  shone  in 
dying,  and  those  who  fell  unnamed  in  the  heroic 
ranks,  were  not  divided  in  their  deaths,  and 
shall  forever  share  a  common  gratitude  and 
glory.  And  by  the  love  we  bore  them  and  they 
bore  us,  by  the  untold  and  unimaginable  sacri- 
fice, let  us  fervently  pray  that  God  may  strength

WHAT  NEXT? 
The  overwhelming  victory  of  the  Govern- 
ment turns  every  mind  to  the  consideration  of 
the  means  of  restoring  its  normal  and  tran- 
quil operation.  But  in  our  present  ignorance 
of  the  real  condition  of  public  sentiment  at  the 
South,  it  is  impossible  to  do  more  than  see  what 
should  not  bo  done.  The  victory  of«the  Govern- 
ment must  not  be  thrown  away.  The  terrible 
war,  under  which  the  country  pants  and  bleeds, 
must  not  have  been  fought  in  vain.  Justice, 
liberty,  and  pence  must  not  be  imperiled  in  a 
swash  of  weakness  called  by  a  fine  name.  If 
the  Southerners  are  our  brethren,  the  Northern- 
ers are  not  less  so.  If  we  ought  not  to  punish 
deluded  rebels,  neither  ought  we  to  betray  true 

We  all  say,  and  undoubtedly  not  without  rea- 
son, that  the  South  was  unwillingly  precipitated 
into  rebellion,  and  that  only  certain  leaders  are 
actually  morally  guilty.  But  there  can  be  no 
doubt  whatever  that  the  heart  of  the  South  had 
been  long  and  systematically  alienated  from  the 
Union.  The  doctrine  of  State  sovereignty,  sed- 
ulously taught,  had  destroyed  all  true  sense  and 
pride  ol  nationality.  "In  every  house,"  said  a 
who  served  two  years  in  the  rebel 
vas  never  north  of  Mason  and  Dix- 


of  Calhoun  lay  side  by  side  with 
That  the  United  States  Govern- 


fundamental  article  of  faith. 
were  proud  of  being  Carolini- 
ans, Georgians,  "Virginians,  not  of  being  Amer- 
icans. "  Yankee"  was  a  term  of  contempt  and 
reproach,  and  the  free  expression  of  opinion  by 
American  citizens  in  the  South,  if  unfavorable 
to  slavery,  was  punished  and  annihilated  by 
every  form  of  insult  and  crime,  from  a  glass  of 
wine  flung  in  the  face  at  the  table  of  "  the  hos- 
pitable Southern  gentleman,"  to  the  arrest  and 
trial  by  a  secret  committee,  and  hanging,  burn- 
ing, maiming,  and  expulsion,  according  to  the 
whim  of  the  mob. 

Such  tilings  reveal  the  state  of  public  opin- 
ion. Hostility  to  the  Union  and  to  the  essen- 
tia! principles  of  a  free  government  were  not 
exceptional  at  the  South ;  they  were  general. 
They  were  carefully  enforced  by  every  appeal 
to  the  basest  prejudice  and  the  profoundest  ig- 
norance. Millions  of  American  citizens,  of  the 
greatest  intelligence  and  of  the  highest  charac- 
ter, could  venture  into  the  whole  Southern  sec- 
tion of  their  country  only  at  the  risk  of  outrage 
and  the  peril  of  their  lives,  or  upon 
of  the  most  shameful  and  treacherous  silence. 
The  union  of  sympathy,  of  purpose,  of  national 
pride  and  feeling,  was  gone  long  before  the  shot 


.  calling  ilself  conservatism,  that  led  us  intt 
:  war ;  and  wc  may  be  very  sure  that  blind- 
■s,   calling  it-elf  magnanimity,  will  not  lead 


forward 
The  Southern  people,  who  had  grown  up  in 

can  hardly  comprehend,  and  who  have  been  de- 
luded into  the  active  support  of  so  enormous  a 
conspiracy,  have  been  deluded  because  their 
minds  were  prepared  for  delusion.  Even  Alex- 
ander H.  Stephens— who  was  not  considered 
peculiarly  a  Southern  man,  and  to  whom  many 
persons  now  look  as  a  possible  mediator — dili- 
gently fostered  this  delusion.  He  was  a  Union 
man  iu  the  Southern  sense.     That  is  to  say,  he 


i  the  Si.mi.ii  runn-ulk-d  I  he  t.mvenimeiu 
i  interest.  When  he  retired  from  Con- 
1858,  he  publa.lv  slated  that   he  with- 


South  had  carried  every  point  in  the  long  debate 
with  theNorth,  and  because  its  future  supremacy 
in  the  Union  was  absolutely  assured  by  the  de- 
cision of  the  Supreme  Court  in  the  Dred  Scott 
case.  "The  Union,"  said  Alexander  H. 
Stephens— and  we  quote  his  words—"  has  al- 
ways been  to  me,  and  ought  to  be  to  you,  sub- 
ordinate to  Southern  security  in  it."  This  was 
said  two  years  before  the  war,  and  neither  Cal- 
houn nor  Jefferson  Davis  ever  stated  the 
doctrine  of  secession  more  forcibly  or  persuasive- 
ly. His  famous  "Union"  speech  at  Milledge- 
ville,  before  the  Georgia  Legislature,  in  Novem- 


ven  for  the  purposes  of 
the  South,  enforced  bya  prophecy  of  the  horrors 
of  war.  It  was  a  passionate  appeal  to  the  South 
to  remember  that  it  had  always  controlled  the 
Government;  that  the  election  ofMr.  Lincoln, 
while  the  South  held  the  Senate,  the  House,  and 
the  Supreme  Court,  did  not  really  endanger  its 
policy;  and  that  if  it  only  stood  fast  it  would 
control  the  Union  forever,  and  permanently  es- 
tablish the  state  of  things  then  existing,  which 
was  a  practical  subversion  of  the  essential  prin- 
ciples of  the  Government.  And  when  he  asked 
Toombs  why,  i 
ed  to  risk  every  thing  by  drawing  the  sword,  the 
fiery  Toombs  replied,  substantially,  "Don't  be 
nneasy.  I  will  agree  to  drink  every  drop  of 
blood  that  will  be  shed  in  the  war ;  and  I  draw 
the  sword  only  to  show  the  edge, 


country,  the 

I  niuti  which  you  advocate. 

The  public  sentiment  of  the  South  was  radi- 
cally hostile  to  the  Union  because  it  was  op- 
posed to  the  principles  upon  which  alone  the 
Union  was  possible.  If  it  could  have  its  own 
way  it  was  satisfied.  If  it  could  suppress  free 
speech,  if  it  could  indefinitely  extend  slavery, 


i  the] 


protection  by  giving  it  a  Constitutional  sanc- 
tion, as  Stephens  believed  it  had  effectively 
done,  it  was  willing  to  continue  to  use  the  Union 
as  its  tool.  This,  and  this  only,  was  the  Union- 
ism of  the  South.  It  was  a  Union  subordinate 
to  State  sovereignty.  It  was  a  Union  which 
bad  no  power  of  coercion  except  against  the  en- 
emies of  the  Southern  policy.  It  was  a  Union 
whose  Government  had  no  right 
authority  against  any   citizen   c 


the  United 


this  was  not  only  the  argument  of  the  leaders 
but  the  conviction  of  the  people  of  the  South, 
that  those  leaders  were  able  to  begin  and  main- 
tain with  remarkable  unanimity  of  popular  sup- 
port this  long  and  strenuous  rebellion  against 
the  national  authority.

GEANT. 


Eleten  months  ago— on  the  3d  of  May. 
1864 — 'General  Grant  broke  up  on  the  Rapidan, 
and  nd  vanced  toward  Richmond.  The  route 
he  chore  had  been  declared  impracticable.  The 
army  tjaat  confronted  him  was  the  choicest  force 
of  the  enemy,  long  and  carefully  trained,  and 
led  by  their  most  trusted  chief.  The  prepara- 
tion up  on  both  sides  had  been  most  elaborate 
and  prolonged,  and  the  issue  of  the  campaign 
was  th-e  life  or  death  of  a  nation.  The  battles 
that  followed  were  tremendous  and  sanguinary. 
The  loss  upon  both  sides  was  enormous,  and 
will  "never  be  known.  Driven  back  step  by  step, 
slow!ly  retreating  toward  Richmond,  the  rebel 
General  disputed  every  mile.  Flanked  and 
worsl.ed,  he  still  held  his  army  compact  and 
effecl  ive.  Receding  before  the  terrible  blows 
in  hi  s  front,  he  still  guarded  his  rear,  and,  post-

Yicksburg  or  Chattanooga.  Grant  said, 
quietly,  "I  shall  fight  it  out  on  this  line,  if  it 
takes  all  summer."  It  did  take  all  summer  and 
fought  it  out,  and  obliter- 
ated the  army  and  the  cause  of  his  antagonist 

The  whole  career  of  Lieutenant- General 
Grant  shows  the  most  profound  comprehension 
of  the  rebellion,  and  the  most  absolute  mastery 
of  the  means  necessary  to  suppress  it.  An  earn- 
est, faithful,  silent  man,  he  understood  both  the 
spirit  and  the  resources  of  the  enemy.  Conse- 
quently he  struck  heavily  at  both.  The  loss  of 
life  in  the  Wilderness  was  fearful.  Timid  folk 
and  traitors  were  appalled,  and  called  hira  a 
butcher.  The  devastation  of  the

that  to  reduce  the  rebellion  it  was  necessary  to 
kill  men  and  to  destroy  provision.  He  knew 
that  the  sacrifice  of  life  on  our  side  was  the 
shortest  and  least  bloody  way  to  peace,  because 
it  compelled  a  greater  loss  upon  the  enemy's. 
We  could  better  lose  a  hundred  lives  than  they 
could  lose  ten.  And  in  his  position  fighting 
was  imperative. 

But  while  thus  he  struck  at  their  resources  of 
life  and  food,  and  sat  before  Richmond,  holding 
the  doomed  city  and  Lee's  army  in  both  hands, 
he  ordered  Thomas  to  extinguish  Hood,  and 
then  Sherman  to  advance,  that  the  spirit  of  the 
rebellion  might  be  ruined  at  home  and  its  pres- 
tige destroyed  abroad,  by  showing  that  it  was  a 
crust,  and  that  the  people  of  the  South  had  re- 
signed their  defense  to  their  army.     The  great

,  revealed  this 


i  defense  of  Richmond, 


Lee's  surrender  the  rebellion  would  fall.  To 
this  end  he  moved  out  upon  his  extreme  left  to 
secure  the  interior  line  in  the  event  of  victory. 
The  battle  began,  and  turned,  as  Grant  intend- 
ed, upon  Sheridan  at  the  extreme  left,  ns  the 
pivot.  The  indomitable  energy  and  soldierly 
skill  of  Sheridan  did  exactly  the  work  upon 
which  Grant  counted ;  and  then  the  masterly

the  glorious  and  tireless  valor  of  his  soldiers, 
struck  the  blow  he  had  designed,  broke  through 
the  enemy's  lines,  compelled  a  hasty  evacuation 
of  Petersburg  and  Richmond,  and  at  the  same 

the  left  that  he  might  complete  the  work.  How 
he  completed  it  is  already  history. 

It  was  reserved  for  the  modftst  soldier  who 
practically  finished  the  war  at  the  West  to  end 
it  at  the  East,  and  to  end  it  not  only  with  the 
most  prompt  and  effective  support  of  all  his 

miration  and  sympathy,  while  the  country  pays 
now,  and  will  forever  pay,  the  homage  of  its 
unqualified  gratitude  to  his  genius  and  his  spot- 
less character.  For  it  is  not  the  least  of  "the 
crowning  mercies"  of  these  days,  that  our  polit- 
ical and  military  chiefs  are  men  upon  whose 
simple,  earnest,  unselfish  devotion  to  their  coun- 
try no  taint  of  suspicion  was  ever  breathed  ;  and 
our  children  will  be  forever  grateful  that  our 
national  salvation  was  achieved  by  the  people 
under  two  such  leaders  as  Abraham  Lincoln 
and  Ultsses  S.  Grant. 


That  the  general  satisfaction  with  the  sur- 
render of  Lee  should  beget  a  kind  feeling  for 
the  rebel  General  is  not  unnatural.  But  it  is 
a  great  folly  to  invest  him  with  any  romance. 
Robert  E.  Lee  may  be  an  honest  man,  as 
doubtless  many  of  the  rebels  were,  but  beyond 
that  he  has  no  claim  of  any  kind  whatever  upon 
the  regard  of  the  American  people. 

His  story  is  very  briefly  told.  Educated  an 
army  officer,  he  acknowledged  the  doctrine  of 
State  sovereignty,  and,  honestly  holding  it,  he 
followed  his  State  when  she  seceded.  Now 
even  if  a  man  believed  that  his  State  had  a  right 
to  secede  at  her  pleasure,  if  he  thought  the  oc-

A  TRIBUTE  TO  FATHER.

Outlooking  the  forest  afar, 
And  dreamily  working  a  slipper 

For  Father,  who's  gone  to  the  war. 
The  green  bud  grows  on  the  slipper, 

And  the  green  bud  swells  on  the  tree, 
And  the  wind  sighs  in  the  pine-tops, 

And,  Father,  I'm  sighing  for  thee.

Do  you  know  that  I've  been  with  yon,  Father, 
Through  all  of  this  weary  campaign?

It  was  the  next  morning  that  according  to  previ- 
ous agreement,  the  two  friends  started  out  alter  deer, 
tracks  having  been  seen  on  the  day  before.  They 
felt  now  sufficiently  acquainted  with  the  situation 
of  things  to  dispense  with  a  guide— perhaps,  besides, 
they  mutually  desired  to  be  alone  with  one  another. 
If  this  last  were  their  object,  however,  it  was  soon 
frustrated,  siuee,  following  the  trail,  the  broken 
crust  of  the  deep  snow,  the  soft-lipped  browning  of 
black-birch  steins,  they  suddenly  lost  it  altogether,

evident  from  the  fact  that  one  by  one,  as  he  wenl

summer-time  it  fed.  The  meadow,  too,  was  a  sheet 
of  ice,  overflowed  in  a  freshet  of  autumn  rains  and 
then  frozen,  and  half-way  across  it  there  rose  the 
Btem  of  a  single  tree,  its  few  branches,  only  half 
sheltered  by  the  great  amphitheatre  of  the  pine  for- 
est, all  bent  one  way  with  the  wind,  but  each  hough 
stalwart  as  a  floor  itself.     It  was  directly  to  the  foot 

falling  before  another,  and  there  they  stopped.  Clcra

Meanwhile  Clement  was  mapping  out  their  route 
to  Mrs.  Aldus,  disdaining  either  to  watch  or  to 
hearken,  but  feeling,  as  it  were  through  the  pores 
of  his  skin,  that  Hcrvey  was  saying  tender  things 
to  T3uBan,  and  Susan  was  listening.  Suddenly  he 
drew  a  writing-stand  toward  himself,  and  without 
pausing  to  reason  penned  a  few  vehement  lines,  in- 
closed them  in  an  envelope  at  hand,  sealed,  directed, 
and  left  it  on  the  table.  Then  he  leaned  back,  im- 
patient to  be  gone,  yet  hindered  by  his  honor  from 
hurrying  liis  adversary,  who  was  at  the  same  time 
his  friend.

Give  to  me  a  mortal  lover! 

Give  me  an  immortal  soul! 
If  some  child  of  earth  would  love  me,

slightest  word,  spoken  at  random,  will  suffice  to 
estrange  her  from  her  "dearest  friends."  She  is 
not  in  the  habit  of  making  such  bitter  speeches  as 
the  spiteful  girl,  but  she  contradicts,  and  inter- 
rupts, and  reproaches  in  the  most  provoking  man- 
ner every  instant.  She  is  disrespectful  to  her  par- 
ents, cross  and  unyielding  with  her  brothers  and 
sisters,  captious  with  her  friends,  barely  civil  to  her

The  Miss  Hibherds  were  folding  a  court-mar-

cambric  cuffs  on  spare  wrists,  a  narrow  neck-ribbon, 
like  a  dog's  collar,  fattening  a  delicate  little  brooch 
beneath  the  skinnv  bag  under  the  pointed  chin,  and 
always  looked  as  if  she  put  her-elf  fully  dre^-ed  into 
a  safe  bandbox  at  night  and  took  herself  out  as 
fresh  as  paint  in  the  morning. 

Miss  Charlotte  Hibberd  was  short  and  stout,  with 
a  solid  neck,  a  big  head,  and  much  strong  grizzled 
hair  so  as  to  render  it  difficult  for  her,  in  the  very 
same  costume  as  Miss  Hibberd,  to  make  the  most 
distant  approach  to  elegance. 

Miss  Blount,  the  senior  English  governess,  had 
turned  the  old  maid's  corner  of  thirty,  clothed  her- 
self in  a  lavender  woolen  gown,  with  a  ruche  of  the

Frnulein  Kester  was  a  specimen  of  good  living  and 
phlegmatic  philosophy. 

Miss  Farren,  the  junior  English  governess,   at 


Quaker  color  would  not  quench  Mushes,  erase  dim- 
ples, nor  dim  eyes— only  mortification  and  vexation 
did  that.  Miss  Farren  possessed  a  round-browed, 
soft-cheeked,  cleft-chinned  face;  but  at  this  mo- 
ot pure  complexion,  with  the  accompanying  nice 
brown  hair  and  the  nice  collar  and  sleeves,  like  ,he

"Oh,  Miss  Farren!"  echoed  Miss  Charlotte,  in 
so  deep  a  voice  from  her  bulk  as  to  have  something 
■vpitl.-ln-.il  in  its  tones. 

"  Ah,  ciel !"  cried  Mdlle.  De  la  Rue,  clasping  her

shaking  simultaneously  like  so  many  dumb-hells. 

Miss  Blount  stated  plainly:  "I  am  surprised 
that  you  could  he  so  foolish,  Miss  Farren,  though 
you  are  a  girl  of  eighteen." 

"  He  only  wrote  to  mo  thrice,"  pleaded  the  girl, 
at  bay;  "and  once  was  about  Miss  Martin's  bad 
spelling  in  her  dictation." 

"  Enough,  Miss  Farren !"  Miss  Hibberd  ended 
the  sitting  austerely.  "Thrice  or  three  hundred 
times,  what  does  it"  matter  ?  I  need  not  say  you 
must  both  give  up  your  situations ;  and  I  can  not 
tell  you  whether  I  am  glad  or  sorry  that  it  is  the 
eve  of  the  Midsummer  holidays,  and  you  may  be 
spared  disgrace,  or  that  society  will  lose  a  warning. 
But  I  should  like  to  know  how  could  the  upper  class- 
es trust  Miss  Charlotte  and  me  with  the  r-'aring  and 
training  of  young  ladies,  if  they  knew  that  such  in- 
iquitous contempt  of  duty  occurred  actually  within 
the  shelter  of  our  walls?  You'll  keep  your  room, 
Miss  Farren;  you  are  not  fit  to  bo  seen,  and  you 
will  not  be  guilty  of  any  further  folly  in  my  house. 
Miss  Blount,  Mdlle.,  and  Fraulein,  I  shall  feel  much 
obliged  by  your  overlooking  the  young  ladies'  pack-

incomparable  French  shrug,  Fraulein  repeated  her 
"so,  so!"  with  an  entirely  different  note  of  mean- 
ing.    Miss  Farren  believed  she  was  ruined,  and, 


"  If  you  don't  dry  your  eyes,  Miss  Farren,  you'l 
have  one  of  your  sties.  You  know  you  are  no 
enough  of  a  woman  to  have  left  off  sties."

sensitive  girl,  found  courage  to  pick  up  a  particular 
acquaintance  and  advance  to  what  Miss  Hibberd 
would  have  called  philandering,  was  one  of  the  puz-

Of  a  more  ardent  temperament  than  Mr.  Lin- 

Mr.  Johnson  has  had  a  much  sharper  personal- 
experience  of  the  atrocious  spirit  of  this  rebel- 
lion. He  has  seen  and  felt  the  horrors  of  which 
we  have  only  heard.  The  great  guilt  of  treason

William  Hknry  Skward  has  too  faithfully 
and  conspicuously  served  human  liberty  not  to 
have  earned  a  blow  from  the  assassin  hand  of 
slavery.  The  younger  generalion-of  American 
citizens  who,  in  their  first  manhood,  followed 
his  bugle-call  into  the  ranks  of  those  who  strove 
against  the  infamous  power  whose  dying  throes, 
have  struck  life  from  the  President  and  joy  from 
a  triumphing  nation,  will  not  forget  how  valiant 
and  beneficent  his  service  has  been,  nor  suffer 
the  name  so^  identified  with  the  truest  political 
instruction  of  this  country  to  be  long  obscured 
by  the  clouds  of  calumny. 


GREAT  PAN  IS  DEAD. 

The  New  York  Tribune,  in  a  late  issue,  after 
reprinting  the  infamous  rebel  offer  of  a  reward 
of  a  million  of  dollars  for  the  assassination  of 
Mr.  Lincoln,  Mr.  Johnson,  and  Mi-.  Seward, 


rages  in  Washington  were  incidents  of  a  com- 
prehensive plot  whereto  the  rebel  lenders  were 
privy.  The  burglarious  raid  on  St.  Albans,  the 
attempts  simultaneously  to  fire  our  great  hotels, 
and  other  acts  wholly  out  of  the  pale  of  civil- 
ized warfare,  tend  to  strengthen  this  comic- 


Does  not  the  editor  of  the  Tribune  see  that 
nothing  can  more  profoundly  demoralize  the 
public  mind  than  to  call  the  men  who  plot  ar- 
son and  massacre  "distinguished  Americans?" 
Abraham  Lincoln  and  Gi.okgl:  Washington 
were  distinguished  Americans.  -  Has  the  editor 
no  other  epithets  for  George  N.  Sanders  and 
Jacob  Thompson  and  Clement  C.  Clay?     Is 

criminals?  Is  the  assassin  of  the  President  a 
man  impelled  by  "the  conflict  of  ideas"  to  a 
mistaken  act?  Is  there  no  treason ?  Are  there 
no  traitors?     Does  the  editor  of  the   Tribune

Sov.th  who  has  " 
the  duty  of  wise

regard,  and  Joe  Johnston  into  the  army? 
The  Editor  of  the  Tribune  may  bow  down 
the  ground  and  grovel  before  "eminent  C 
JWlenitci ,"  but   it  is  not  from  them  that 


if  we  n fleet  that  respect  which  no  honest  man 
can  feel?  If  there  is  one  suffering  Union  man 
in  Alabama  who  has  been  outlawed  and  hunted 
iind  starved,  who  has  lain  all  day  cowering  in 
swamps  and  woods,  and  at  night  has  stolen  out 
.  for  food  to  the  faithful  slaves  upon 


son's  liberating  march,  has  come  safely  to  our 
lines  at  Mobile — if  there  be  one  such  man,  who 
knows  that  his  cruel  agony  and  the  waste  and 
desolation  of  his  land  have  come  from  "the 
leaders"  of  his  section,  and  sees  that  when  they 
are  worsted  in  battle  it  is  the  Editor  of  the  New 
York  Tribune  who  hastens  to  fall  prostrate  before 
the  meanest  of  them  and  salute  them  as  "  dis- 
tinguished Americans"  and  "eminent  Confed- 
erates," it  is  easy  to  believe  that  such  a  man 
should  be  overwhelmed  with  dismay  as  he  con- 
templates the  hopeless  postponement  of  pacifica- 
catinn  which  such  a  spectacle  reveals. 

gance  of  a  slaveholding  class  which  has  enabled 
that  class  to  seduce  and  betray  the  people  of 
their  States  is  reproduced  in  the  tone  of  the

Jeffebsoh  Davis  a  "  distinguished  American?"

her  act  was  a  mistake.  It  ended  the  life  of  a

Lincoln.  He  has  been  denounced  as  a  despot, 
as  a  usurper,  as  a  man  who  arbitrarily  annulled 
the  Constitution,  as  a  magistrate  under  whose 
administration  all  the  securities  of  liberty,  prop- 
erty, and  even  life,  were  deliberately  disregard- 
ed and  imperiled.  Political  hostility  has  been 
inflamed  into  hate  by  the  assertion  that  he  was 
responsible  for  the  war,  and  that  he  had  opened 
all  the  yawning  graves  and  tumbled  the  bloody 
victims  in.  This  has  been  done  directly  and  in- 
directly, openly  and  cunningly.  In  a  time  of 
necessarily  profound  and  painful  excitement,  to 
carry  a  party  point,  the  political  opponents  of 
Mr.  Lincoln  have  said  or  insinuated  or  implied 
that  he  had  superseded  the  laws  and  had  made 
himself  an  autocrat.  If  any  dangerous  plot  has 
been  exposed,  these  organs  of  public  opinion 
had  sneered  at  it  as  an  invention  of  the  Admin- 
istration, If  theatres  and  hotels  full  of  men, 
women,  and  children  were  to  be  wantonly  fired, 
the  friends  of  the  Administration  were  accused 
of  cooking  up  an  excitement.  If  bloody  riots 
and  massacres  occurred,  they  were  extenuated, 
and  called  "risings  of  the  people,"  as  if  in  jus- 
tifiable vengeance,  and  as  if  the  oppression  of 
the  Government  had  brought  them  upon  itself. 

This  appeal  has  been  made  in  various  ways 
and  in  different  degrees.  A  great  convention 
intimated  that  there  was  danger  that  the  elec- 
tions would  be  overborne  by  Administration 
bayonets.  Judge  Comstock,  formerly  of  the 
Cimi't  of  Appeals  in  this  State,

cused of  the  basest  conceivable  crimes  Abraham 
Lincoln  was  the  head.  If  there  were  a  mili- 
tary despotism  in  the  country,  as  was  declared, 
he  was  the  despot.     If  there  were  a  tyranny,  he 

Is  it  surprising  that  somebody  should  have 
believed  all  this,  that  somebody  should  have 
said,  if  there  is  a  tyranny  it  can  not  be  very 
criminal  to  slay  the  tyrant,  and  that  working 
himself  up  to  the  due  frenzy  he  should  strike 
the  blow?  When  it  was  struck,  when  those 
kind  eyes  that  never  looked  sternly  upon  a  hu- 
being  closed  forever,  and  the  assassin  sprang

A  SUGGESTION  FOR  A  MONUMENT. 

It  is  very  possible  that  the  great  affection  of 

the  people  of  the  United  States  for  their  late 
President  will  lead  to  a  general  desire  to  erect 
some  national  monument  to  his  memory.  Should 
this  be  so,  there  is  one  suggestion  which  will 
doubtless  occur  to  many  besides  ourselves.  It 
is  that  no  mere  marble  column  or  memorial  pile 
shall  be  reared,  but  that  the  hcart-orieiings  of 
the  people  shall  be  devoted  to  the  erection  of  a 
military  hospital,  to  be  called  the  Lincoln  Hos- 
pital, for  soldiers  and  sailors— a  retreat  for  the 
wounded  and  permanently  invalid  veterans  of 
the  war.  When,  in  the  happier  days  that  are

mother and  sister  to  pare,  overheard  his  brother's

FUNERAL  ODE. 

Vhen  raging  earthquakes  bury  towns, 

Or  fierce  volcanoes  lash  their  manes 
)f  boundless,  fiery  ruin  round 

The  groaning  hills  and  shrieking  plains, 
?he  world  may  fitting  emblems  find 

To  apeak  the  horror  of  its  heart, 
n  cities  craped,  in  banners  furled, 

And  all  the  solemn  show  of  art. 


Even  at  his  triimi|.li's  crowning  hour, 
What  emblems  shall  Man  fitting  find, 

What  types  sad,  grand  enough  to  show 
The  horror  shaking  continents, 

And  their  infinity  of  woe? 

Alas!   alas!  we  wildly  feel 

There  should  be  still  some  outward  sign, 
And  so  we  furl  the  shining  flag 

And  darkly  cloud  the  glowing  shrine. 
How  vain  I     At  last  the  Nation  lifts 

Its  naked  bands  to  Heaven,  and  owns 
The  impotence  of  every  type 

Before  the  awful  Throne  of  Thrones : 


The  swervekss  Good,  the  calmly  Great: 
n  wonder  would  the  reason  pierce 
Of  their  Beloved's  mystic  fate. 

Too  imrrifitl  for  this  dread  time? 
lid  Heaven  now  will  a  sterner  hand, 
With  justke  mailed,  to  guard  the  clime?

Though  earth  should  sink  and  planets  fall ! 


HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


Saturday,  May  6,  1865.. 


by  the  shot  at  Sumter  the  chief  conspirators 
took  a  military  officer  of  the  United  States,  now 
Jiving,  into  their  secret  council,  and  said  that 
they  knew  that  the  South  had  never  been  op- 
pressed; that  it  had  always  governed  the  coun- 
try ;  and  that  the  denunciation  of  the  agitation 
of  the  Slavery  question,  and  of  the  injustice  of 
Northern  tariffs,  etc.,  was  merely  the  method 
by  whieh  they  dragged  the  people  of  the  South 
into  their  plans.  For  the  two  sections,  they 
said,  can  no  longer  live  together,  and  we  mean 
that  they  shall  be  separated. 

These  are  the  men  whom  President  Johnson 
describes  as  leaders.  These  are  they  whose 
tender  mercies  he  and  the  faithful  Union  men 
of  the  Border  and  of  the  South  have  experi- 
enced. These  are  the  chiefs  whom  he  has  in 
luind  when  he  says  that  treason  is  a  crime 
tvhich  is  justly  punishable  by  the  laws.  These 
are  the  leaders,   of  whom  Jons  C.  Breckin- 

of  Sherman's  extraordinary  convention  with

■  purpose,  their  cruel  despotism,  their  guilty 
;  says  steadily,  upon  every  oc- 
casion, holding  them  full  in  his  eye,  that  he 
does  not  think  the  enormity  of  the  crime  should 

From  this  opinion,  which  he  reiterates,  we 
gather  at  least  one  conclusion.  The  men  hith- 
erto known  as  political  leaders  at  the  South,  the 


ambition— and  1

_■  North 


k  in  the  Legislature.  Preai- 
clearly  of  opinion  that  the 
American  people  are  not  disposed  to  surrender 
to  arts  what  they  have  refused  to  arms.  He 
does  not  believe  that  the  rebel  leaders  arc  less 
rebellious  because  they  are  baffled.  He  knows 
that  the  cause  to  which  they  are  devoted  is  a 
perpetual  rebell; 


:  spin 


i  and  God.     Every 


speech  he 

have  betrayed.  For  those  who  have  been  i 
ceived  are  the  men  of  the  class  from  which  t 
President  himself  sprang,  and  his  hostility  to  ( 
betrayers  is  based  upon  long  aud  bitter  kno< 


3  than  by  persuading  il  of  the  cai 
hat  the  regeneration  of  the  South  i 
from  men  like  Davis,  Huntlu 


Southern  people  white  and  black.  The  slave- 
holding  class  is  not  large.  The  actual  pecu- 
niary and  political  interest  of  the  mass  of  the 
population  in  slavery  has  been  very  slight. 
They  have  been  influenced  by  it  as  a  prejudice, 
not  a  palpable  advantage.  The  great  proprie- 
tors of  the  South,  who  owned  the  land  and  the 
slaves,  and  who  monopolized  political  power, 
have  always  purposely  kept  the  poorer  class  of 
whites  ignorant.  They  were  painfully  degraded. 
The  faithful  reports  of  the  best  observers  for 
many  years  have  shown  us  how  sad  their  con- 
dition was.  And  this  class  could  be  kept  silent 
while  slavery  endured.  So  long  as  their  color 
was  itself  a  symbol  of  superiority,  an3  being 
wretched  and  poor,  they  could  yet  claim  to  be- 
long, though  but  in  name,  to  the  ruling  class, 


;  they  l 


against  which  every  man  bearing  the  name  of 
American  ought  instinctively  to  protest. 

But  when  slavery  goes,  when  contact  with 
Northern  men  in  the  army  shows  the  Southern 
people  what  their  rights  are,  they  will  be  ready 
to  claim  them.  When  they  find  by  actual  ex- 
perience that  Yankees  are  neither  savages  nor 
brutes — when  they  perceive  that  they  are  not  cow- 
ards nor  base  tinkers,  but  brave  men  who  have 
overpowered  the  utmost  resources  of  the  South 
— when  the  Southern  people  learn  how  basely 
and  cruelly  they  have  been  deceived  by  the  men 
whom  they  trusted,  and  that  they  have  been 
fighting  Davis's  battle,  and  Hunter's,  and 
Toombs's,  and  Jacob  Thompson's,  and  Clem- 
ent Clay's,  but  have  not  been  fighting  their 
own,  then  they  too  will  be  emancipated  from 
the  long  bondage  of  blindness  and  ignorance 
which  slavery  imposes  upon  the  mass  of  any 
slaveholding  community,  aud  they  will  be  the 
men,  with  the  slaves  who  have  been  instinctive- 
ly and  always  faithful  to  the  country,  by  whom 
the  South  will  be  regenerated. 

It  is  because  in  the  speeches  of  President 
Johnson  we  find 
some  disbelief  in  the  i 


us  peculiarly  significant.  He  is  clearly  also  of 
opinion  that  those  who  are  good  enough  to  fight 
for  the  Government  are  good  enough  to  vote  for 
it ;  and  that  a  black  heart  is  a  more  serious  de- 

If  the  measures  of  the  policy  now  foreshadowed 
shall  be  as  temperate  and  firm  as  its  spirit  is 
true  the  work  that  Abraham  Lincoln  wisely 

GENERAL  SHERMAN. 

The  convention  of  General  Sherman  with 
the  rebel  General  Johnston  is  not  the  least  of 
the  astounding  events  of  the  last  few  weeks. 
The  rebellion  had  failed.  Its  chief  army  was 
disbanded.  Its  military  chief  had  surrendered. 
Its  civil  chief  was  a  fugitive.  Its  capital  had 
fallen.  Its  last  sea-port  was  gone.  The  sud- 
den dispersion  of  its  offensive  force  had  been 
when  the  hero  of  Georgia  and  of  the 
the  soldier  who  had  led  his  army 
through  the  rebel  section  from  the  Ohio  to  the 
coast,  the  Lieutenant  who  hau  just  returned 
from  an  interview  with  his  superior  at  City 
Point,  and  who  knew  as  every  body  in  the 
country  knew  that  the  idea  of  an  armistice  had 
been  steadily  repelled  by  the  people  and  the 
Government,  who  knew  that  when  President 
Lincoln  went  to  Hampton  Roads  to  meet  the 
rebel  commissioners  he  expressly  told  General 
Grant  not  to  suspend  military  operations  for  a 
moment,  who  knew  that  General  Grant  him- 
self while  corresponding  with  Lee  was  still 
fighting  him,  the  soldier  who  knew  all  this  and 
the  terms  upon  which  Johnston's  superior  had 
just  surrendered  to  his  own  superior  officer,  sud- 
denly quits  the  military  sphere,  and  dashing  into 
the  political  and  diplomatic,  fails  as  signally 
and  sadly  as  before  he  had  gloriously  triumphed. 

General  Sherman  not  only  treats  with  the 
rebel  General  Johnston,  but  with  "  high  of- 
ficials"—that  is  to  say,  with  the  conspirators 
who  have  formed  what  was  called  "  the  Confed- 
erate Government."    He  says  to  his  army  that, 

the  Potomac  to  the  Rio  Grande.  Ratified  by 
whom  ?  He  has  already  told  us  in  the  conven- 
tion with  Johnston  :  "  Not  being  fully  empow- 
ered by  our  respective  principals  to  fulfill  these 
terms,"  etc.     They  are  then  to  be  ratified  by 


General  Sherman 
his  country  more  if  he 
to  Juhnston,  and  the  first  emotion  of  every  loyal 

conduct  apparently  inexplicable.  Iu  the  ab- 
sence of  such  assistance  wo  must  seek  the  solu- 
tion in  what  we  already  know. 

General  Sijlrm.\s  had  lived  long  in  Louisiana 
when  the  war  began.     He  has  been  constantly 


knowledge  of  current  opinion,  aud  he  has  shown 
a  peculiar  hostility  to  newspapers  and  corre- 
spondents. He  had  no  special  sympathy  with 
the  moral  sentiment  which  animated  the  patri- 
otism of  the  Northern  States.      Ho  probably 


r  of  slavery,  although  he 


held  the  Southern 
did  not  hesitate  t 
arming  of  colored  men,  that  whoever  was  wor- 
thy to  carry  a  musket  in  defense  of  the  Govern- 
ment was  not  unworthy  to  cast  a  ballot.  He  has, 
always  taken  a  purely  military  view

Johnston  as  General  Grant  had,  as  he  knew,

ho  should  undertake  to  do  upon  his  own  re- 
sponsibility what  he  knew  the  C 

refund  10  allow  hiss 


that  people.  Of  the  operations  of  Government, 
of  the  tides  and  currents  of  public  opinion,  of 
the  grateful  sympathy  of  a  nation,  they  can 
know  little,  but  they  knew  that  Abraham  Lin- 


us story  of  his  life  is  told,  it  will 
was  one  long  act  of  unwearied 

i  least  of  the  little  ones.  He  saw 
2  beginning  that  the  danger  to  his 
t  of  sight — that  it  lay  deep  down 
on  of  the  most  friendless  of  all 
aw  that  the  national  peril  lay  in 
tion  of  the  conscience  of  the  coun- 
try, wrought  by  a  growing  inhumanity  and  in- 
that  all  prosperity 
was  delusive  which  was  founded  upon  immoral- 
i  part  of  the  country  where  the  preju- 
the  colored  race  was  fiercest,  where 
political  disgrace  seemed  to  await  the  man  who 
persistently  pleaded  their  cause,  lie  never  failed 


sense  could  anticipate  peace  upon  the  terms  of 
his  arrangement.  But  the  painful  event  vindi- 
cates the  wisdom  of  President  Lincoln  in  re- 
fusing from  the  beginning  to  allow  the  Generals 
in  the  field  to  decide  the  questions  that  were 
really  political.  He  disapproved  all  such  action 
in  the  instances  of  Generals  Fremont,  Hunter, 
and  M'Clellan,  and  his  last  official  act  in  his 
first  term  was  an  express  instruction  to  General 
Grant  to  confine  himself  to  military  operations. 
General  Sherman  knew  that  this  was  the  un- 
deviating  policy  of  the  Government.  He  has 
yet  to  explain  why  he  utterly  disregarded  it. 
That  he  had  any  personal  politf 


of  the  "high  officials"  v 
four  years  by  arms,  and  for  thirty  years  by  the 
most  unscrupulous  and  appalling  debauchery  of 
the  national  mind  and  heart,  seeking  to  destroy 
the  Government  of  his  country-— this  humiliating 
proposal  to  the  conspirators  is  the  final  and 
painful  proof.  That  the  best  of  soldiers  may 
be  the  worst  of  statesmen  is  easily  credible  ;  but 
it  is  lamentable  to  have  the  truth  illustrated  by 
a  man  of  whom  we  were  all  so  proud  as  we  were 
of  General  Sherman. 


THE  TRUEST  MOURNERS. 

Wotle  the  nation  mourns,  and  cities  are  ? 
emnly  tapestried  with  the  signs  of  sorrow,  t 
the  funeral  train  moves  across  the  land  ami 
tolling  bells  and  minute-guns  aud  slow  peal

nities  speak  their  grief  in  impassioned  eloquei 

■ative  of  a  life  devoted  in  every 
e  common  welfare— there  i^  one 
class  of  mourners  little  seen  or  rudely  repulsed, 
yet  whose  grief  for  Abraham  Lincoln  is  pro- 
founder  and  more  universal  than  all. 

To  the  unhappy  race  upon  whose  equal  nat- 
ural rights  with  ourselves  this  nation  had  so 
long  trampled  —  upon  our  dusky  brothers  for

we  haughtily  responded  that  we  were  not  our 
brothers'  keepers,  the  death  that  bereaves  us  all 
falls  with  an  overwhelming  and  appalling  force. 
The  name  of  Abraham  Lincoln  meant  to  them 
freedom,  justice,  home,  family,  happiness.  In 
his  life  they  knew  that  they  lived.  In  his  per- 
fect benignity  and  just  purpose,  inflexible  as 
the  laws  of  seed-time  and  harvest,  tbey  trusted 
with  all  their  souls,  whoever  doubted.  Their 
deliverer,  their  emancipator,  their  friend,  their 
father,  he  was  known  to  them  as  the  imperson- 
ation of  that  liberty  for  which  they  had  wept 
and  watched,  hoping  against  hope,  praying  in 


coln  emancipated  them  because  the  American 
people  had  declared  they  should  be  free.  Yet 
none  the  less,  as  the  terrible  tale  is  whispered 
all  over  the  region  where  for  four  years  a  black 
face  has  been  the  sure  sign  of  a  true  heart,  the

he  did  not  even  plead  for  political  privileges  for 
colored  men — but  he  unswervingly  proclaimed 
the  right  of  all  innocent  men  to  personal  liberty; 
and  while  he  expressly  disclaimed  any  intention 
of  interfering  with  slavery  iu  the  States  which 
hesitate  to  say,  with  iu- 


not  endure  half  slave  t 
that  slavery  would  disappear  from  the  country. 
He  knew  that  if  it  did  not,  liberty  would  ;  and 
he  unfolded  the  details  of  the  great  conspiracy, 
of  which  the  country  showed  that  at  last  it  was 
aware  by  electing  him  President.     He  believed, 

complished  by  legal  and  peaceful  methods.  In 
that  he  was  mistaken.  This  simple,  homely, 
sagacious  man,  who    declared    that  the  Gov- 

free,  was  called  to  be  the  minister  of  securing 
its  permanence  by  making  it  wholly  free,  and 
the  statesman  whom  slavery  had  never  deceived, 
who  had  exposed  its  immorality,  as  the  clear

RICHARD  COBDEN. 

The  English  Liberals  bewail  in  the  death  of 
Richard  Cobden  one  of  the  great  Englishmen  ; 
even  the  London  Times  confesses  that  his  em- 
inence must  remain  unquestionable ;  and  the 
Emperor  Louis  Napoleon  orders  his  bust  to  be 
placed  in  the  gallery  at  Versailles.  Yet  he  held 
no  office  ;  he  had  refused  to  be  made  a  baronet; 
but  he  was  universally  honored  for  the  sincerity 
of  his  life  and  character,  and  for  the  devotion 
of  noble  powers  to  the  welfare  of  his  country. 

Richard  Cobden  was  what  is  called  a  self- 
made  man,  which  means  simply  that  be  used  his 
opportunities,  and  had  the  happy  gift  of  know- 
ing when  and  how  to  use  them.  In  this  he  was 
like  Mr.  Lincoln.  *"'

It  is  the  good  fortune  of  England  at  this  time 
that  she  never  had  an  abler  group  of  liberal 
leaders.  They  are  a  distinct  body  from  the 
Whig  chiefs.  In  the  days  of  Sir  Francis  Bdr-

HARPER'S  "WEEKLY. 


Sir  Robert  Peel,  the  Prime  Minister,  yielded 
to  the  inevitable  logic  of  the  reformers,  and 
brought  in  the  bill  repealing  the  duties  upon 
imported  corn,  which  was  approved  on  the  26th 
of  Juno,  1846.  It  was  one  of  the  greatest  po- 
litical triumphs  in  history.  It  reversed  the 
traditional  and  cherished  policy  of  a  nation,  and 
the  result  was  achieved  by  solid  argument.  The 
grateful  nation  enriched  Mr.  Cobden  as 


leal     iadepenih: 


But  his  polit- 
disturbed.      He

Like  all  the  lin.._di.-b  liberal- 
been  one  of  our  linnest  find  t

country  and  understood  our  \" 


injustice  in  an  enlightened  people  from  being 
permanently  profitable  ;  and  although  not  of  a 
sanguine  temperament,  ami  knowing  the  eon- 
lion,  he  was  conscious  of  the  terrible  task  be- 
fore us,  yet  he  sincerely  believed  it  would  be  ac- 
complished. 

Cohden  did  not  live  to  hear  of  the  fall  of 
Richmond,  nor  of  the  surrender  of  Lee,  nor  of 
the  final  sealing  of  the  coast  by  the  occupation 
of  Mobile.  But  he  did  live  to  see  the  insurrec- 
tion of  a  system  which,  as  a  political  economist, 
he  knew  to  be  disastrous  to  any  nation,  totter- 
ing and  falling ;  and  the  great  principle  of  equal 
justice  before  the  laws,  which,  as  a  statesman, 
he  knew  to  be  the  only  sure  foundation  of  states, 
ascending  to  its  complete  victory.  fHappily  for 
him  he  died  before  he  heard  that  the  wise  and 
patient  and  practical  statesman,  who  was  the 

den  trusted  with  all  his  heart,  had  suddenly 
rested  from  his  labors  amidst  the  tears  of  a  na- 
tion. The  two  men  lived  for  the  same  great 
purpose.  The  true  interests  of  the  people  of

THE  PRESIDENT'S  FUNERAL  IN 
NEW  YORK. 

All  the  beautiful  day  on  Tuesday,  when  the 
dearly  beloved  President  was  borne  through  the 
great  city,  it  was  impossible  not  to  feel  that, 


might  be,  no  oration  > 


oti.Kl  l-u  m.i  flt.i|nont  a--  the 
population,  hushed  and 
bareheaded,  under  the  bright  spring  sky,  gazing 
upon  his  coffin.  It  was  one  of  the  most  impos- 
ing and  touching  pageants  ever  seen.  From 
windows  and  house-tops  and  balconies,  from 
trees  and  posts  and  door-steps,  the  multitude 
looked  silently  on,  themselves  a  striking  part  of 
the  scene  they  admired.  The  broad  street  was 
clear,  and  on  both  the  walks  the  crowd  was 
solid.  The  pressure  at  times  was  frightful,  but 
the  throng  was  mainly  good-humored;  and 
when  the  funeral  car  approached  the  reverent 
silence  was  profoundly  impressive.  Nothing 
was  heard  as  it  passed  but  the  regular  footfall 
of  the  troops,  the  dull  roll  of  the  muffled  drums, 
nnd  the  occasional  tolling  of  a  bell  far  away. 
The  sober  aspect  of  the  people  all  the  day,  the 
wailing  peals  of  minor  music  from  the  hundred 
bands,  the  houses  draped  with  mourning,  the 
innumerable  flags  bound  with  black  and  hang- 
ing at  half-mast,  the  profuse  and  accumulated 
signs  of  a  true  sorrow,  have  made  the  day  for- 
ever memorable  to  all  who  looked  on, 

As  the  solemn  and  stately  car  went  by;  hold- 
ing proudly  up,  under  the  canopy  and  among 
the  flowers,  the  silver-fringed  coffin  of  the  mar- 
tyr, his  own  words  over  the  dead  at  Gettysburg

lar  edition  by  the  IIaiu'eks.  This  volume  ends 
with  Caesar's  election  as  Consul  and  the  exile 
of  Cicero. 

Louis  Napoleon  is  too  conspicuous  a  man  to 
be  an  unknown  author.  Even  if  his  work  were 
very  poor  it  would  be  universally  read.  But 
written  as  it  is  with  ample  preparation,  and  to 
maintain  a  proposition  which  his  life  is  endeav- 

When  in  the  nineteenth  century  of  Christianity 
an  emperor  elaborately  defines  and  defends  the 
imperialism  of  the  last  age  of  Paganism  as  a 
final  and  necessary" 
ihoiiehuiil  man  wil 
to  say.  Besides,  a  man  who  passes  from  the 
ridiculous  melodrama  o,f  Boulogne  and  Stras- 
bourg to  the  terrible  realities  of  the  coup  d'etat, 
and  leaps  from  lodgings  in  Leicester  Square  to 
the  Tui  lories,  shows  at  least,  that  be  has  power 
of  some  kind,  and  if  ho  professes  alsc  to  have 
principles,  it  is  certainly  worth  while  to  know 
what  they  nre. 

The  work  is  very  carefully  written.  It  opens 
with  a  rapid  survey  of  Roman  history  before  the 
birth  of  Cesar,  that  the  stage  may  be  properly 
set  for  the  entrance  of  the  principal  figure.  The 
reflection;*  are  sometimes  excellent,  sometimes 
utterly  commonplace  and  amusing.  The  dan- 
ger to  any  state  of  an  inflexible  conservatism 
which  would  hold  the  Past  unchanged  is  very 
well  and  pointedly  set  forth.  Indeed  the  au- 
thor's implication,  if  not  his  argument,  is,  that 
Cato,  Cicero,  Hortensius,  and  their  friends, 
by  refusing  to  bend,  forced  Caesar  to  break, 
had  yielded  to  the  necessity

Beneath  the  vast  and  vaulted  i

It  is  a  dreary, 'dreary  night; 


til    srraphs,    idle. I    unh    tender   belli. 


Ilis  pure  hands  folded  i 


He  lies  in  solemn  state,  alone- 
Alone  with  only  silence  there — 
Alone  with  lofty  lampB  that  rim 


And  all  night  long  the  mai 

Have  echoed  to  the  gentle 

Of  blessed  and  immortal  fei 

And  through  the  open  c( 

The  mighty  and  illustrioi 

Have  thronged  all  night 


i  face  to  greet. 

And  they  have  bent,  full-browed  with  pain, 

And  gazed  through  their  celestial  tears 

Upon  the  face  so  dear  to  them — 

Upon  the  man  whose  heart  was  fain 

Above  all  hearts  these  latter  years 

To  he  like  his  of  Bethlehem. 

And  so  our  heads  are  bowed  with  grief 

Because  we  loved  him,  and  because 

But  yesterday,  this  great  man  stood 

Of  many  states  the  perfect  chief, 

Dispensing  justice  and  the  laws, 

And  mindful  of  the  public  good. 

Alas  I  it  is  a  dreary  night ; 
For  he  we  loved  so  much  now  lies 
Beneath  the  vast  and  vaulted  dome ; 
And  in  his  eyes  there  is  no  light — 
No  light  is  in  those. loving  eyes 
Which  kindliness  bad   made  her  home.

In  the  slowly  gathering  twilight, 

Faintly  fiutter'd  to  and  fro.

A  SAILOR'S  TARN. 

The  Captain's  wife  and  daughter  generally  ac-

ing and  conversing  with  her,  that  it  was  not  long 
before  I  began  to  feel  a  more  than  ordinary  pleasure 
and  interest  in  her  society.  But  I  soon  discovered 
the  hopelessness  of  any  feelings  beyond  esteem  for 


bold.  Nothing  particular  occurred  during  our  voy- 
age. One  afternoon,  as  I  was  walking  on  the  deck, 
Truehold  came  up  to  me,  in  a  state  of  great  agita-

In  the  mean  time  the  Captain  had  called  his 
daughter  into  his  cabin,  and  told  her— with  a  threat 
of  solitary  conliiieuienl  in  ease  of  disobedience— 
never,  under  any  circumstances,  to  allow  any  com- 
munication to  take  place  between  her  and  Truehold,

"For  Helen's  sake,  Captain,"  said  Truehold, 
unable  to  restrain  his  feelings  any  longer,  "do  not 
use  your  mnoe.mt  daughter  so  harshly." 

"TWiat!"  cried  the  Captain,  still  more  fiercely; 
"what!  will  you  dare  to  interfere?  Go;  get  you 
below  this  instant!" 

"I  will  not,  Sir,"  replied  Truehold,  firmly. 

"Eh!  you  won't,  do  you  sav?"  exclaimed  tho 
Captain,  grinding  his  teeth  with  rage.  "You 
won't?"  he  reiterated,  drawing  a  pistol  from  bis 
pocket.  "Then,  by  Heaven!  I  shall  send  you  to 
a  berth  you  don't  expect!"  and,  without  further 
warning,  fired  the  pistol,  which,  fortunately  miss- 
ing its  mark,  entered  the  mast  close  by  where  True- 
hold  stood.  In  a  moment  the  Captain,  dashing  Ihe 
pistol  on  the  deck,  pulled  out  another,  ami  proceed-

thcr  had  threatec 

so.  In  short,  this  ttn>  the  fir. 
ich  the  worthy  officer  had  set  f< 
1  Street  for  many  a  long  day ; 


Frederick,  the  second  son,  was  thirty-six; 
William,  thirty.  Frederick  hated  indip<.  alin.-t 
a-  cordially  as  his  brother  Jacob;  William  had 
scarcely  a  thought  that- was  not  dyed  in  it.  Fred- 
erick was  an  airy,  idle,  chocolate-drinking,  snuff- 
taking,  card-playing,  ri .lotto- haunting  man  of 
pleasure.  William  was  n  cool,  methodical,  am- 
bitious man  of  business.  Neither  of  the  three 
had  ever  cared  much  for  the  other  two.  It  was 
not  in  the  nature  of  things  that  much  affection 
should  exist  between  them.  Their  tempera- 
ments and  pursuits  were  radically  unlike.  They 
had  lost  their  mother  while  they  were  yet  boys. 
They  had  never  had  a  sister.  The  sweet  wo- 
manly home-links  had  all  been  wanting  to  bind 
tli-ir  hearts  together. 

And  now  the  brothers  were  met  under  their 
father's  roof  this  memorable  third  evening  in 
April ;  and  in  the  dark  chamber  overhead,  al- 
ready beyond  all  help  from  human  skill,  that 
father  lay  dying.  They  were  all  thinking  the 
same  thoughts  in  the  silence  of  their  hearts,  and 
thoughts  thei-     .as  neither  prayer  nor

with  dark  oak,  richly  carved.     The  chimney- 


gloomy  draw-it 


of  the  house,  painted  forty  years  before  by  Sir 
James  Thornhill,  hung  over  the  fire-place.  Seen 
bv  the  feeble  glimmer  of  n  couple  of  wax-lights, 
there  was  an  air  of  sepulchral  magnificence  about 
the  place  which  was  infinitely  depressing.  The 
very  viands  might  have  reminded  these  gentle- 
veal  pa«tv  which  lav  in  slate  in  the  middle  of  the 
board.  They  were  both  hungry,  however,  and 
it  did  nothing  of  the  kind. 

The  captain  took  his  place  at  the  head  of  the 
tabic,  and  plunged  his  knife  gallantly  into  the 
heart  of  the  pasty. 

"If  thou  hast  as  good  a  stomach,  Fred,  as  my- 
self," said  he,  growing  cordial  under  the  influ- 
ence of  the  good  things  before  him,  "I'll  war- 
rant thee  we'll  sack  this  fortress  handsomely." 

The  fine  gentleman  shrugged  his  shoulders 
somewhat  contemptuously. 

"I  detest  such  coarse  dishes,"  said  he.     "I

"Mr.  Horace  Walpole  and  Mrs.  Olive  were  at 
dinner  all  the  time  in  the  next  room,"  continued 
the  beau  ;  "and  the  drollest  part  of  the  story  is 
that  .Sir  Harry  and  I  adjourned  in  the  evening  to

"I  should  think  so,  brother  Fred,  I  should 
think  so,"  replied  the  captain,  with  a  touch  of 
sadness  in  his  voice.  ""Twas  a  dull  life— poor

"  Is  he— is  m-  "  ..her  dead  ?"  he  faltered. 

The  physician  bent  his  head.

MAECHDJG  HOME. 


Where  death  rained  thick  and  fast, 
Now  our  glorious  work  is  done, 
Now  the  Union  cause  is  won, 

We  are  marching  home  at  last. 

Marching  home  to  those  we  love; 
See  the  veteran  columns  move, 

Hear  the  drums  and  shrill  fifes  play, 
Hear  our  voices  raised  in  song 
As  we  proudly  march  along     • 

With  our  trusty  arms  we  come, 
To  the  sound  of  fife  and  drum, 

Now  the  cruel  war  is  past; 
Light  of  heart  and  glad  are  we, 
Having  served  the  cause,  to  be 

Marching  home  at  last. 

All  day  long  wo  march  till  night, 
Then  beside  the  camp-fire's  light, 

Underneath  the  starry  dome, 
It  is  sweet  to  close  our  eyes, 
While  the  night-wind  softly  sighs, 

On  onr  march  toward  home; 

And  in  sleep  to  dream  we  hear 
Friendly  voices  sounding  near, 

Bidding  welcome  as  we  come, 
Till  at  length  the  morning  breaks, 
And  the  happy  dreamer  wakes 

To  the  beating  of  the  drum. 

Then  once  more  upon  the  way,  . 
March  we  on  at  dawn  of  day, 

Light  at  heart  and  glad  are  we, 
Having  proved  the  Right,  to  be 
Marching  home  at  last.

hibition  of  the  real  spirit  of 

leaders.     They  are  conquered,  not  converted. 

Robert  E.  Lee  is  to-day  as  utter  a  rebel  as  he 

was  on  the  day  when  he  deliberately  resolved  to 

betray  the  country  which  bad  educated  him  and 

to  fire  upon  the  flag  which  he  had  engaged  in 

Three  days  after  Lee  hi 
forces  which  he  commanded,  whil 
a  paroled  prisoner,  he  issued  an  or 
diers  of  his  dispersing  army,  in* 
minds  them  that  they  will  take  wi

~ie  slaughter  upon  many 
fields  of  men  spotlessly  true  to  their  own  gov- 
ernment. Lee  proceeds  to  say  that  he  bids  his 
troops  farewell  "with  an  increasing  admiration 
of  your  constancy  and  devotion  to  your  coun- 
try." What  country?  Tl^e  country  of  which 
Davis  and  Benjamin  and  Slldeli.  and  Mason 
have  spoken  for  the  last  four  years—a  certain 
■eceion  of  the  United  States  of  America  called 
"the  South,"  or  "  the  Confederacy."  That  is 
"the  country"  to  which  they  have  been  faith- 
ful ;  and  for  that  fidelity,  which,  if  successful, 
would  have  destroyed  this  nation,  Robert  E. 
Lee  declares  that  he  has  an  increasing  adraira- 

Mr.  Beverly  Tucker  belongs  to  the  third 
class  of  rebel  chiefs.  The  first  comprises  those 
who  fought  and  at  least  risked  their  lives  in  the 
field  for  what  they  professed  to  believe.     The 


iliji|n.-ii  lift'  lo  Kuropu  when  t 
ami  brlieviiig  that  naught  i 
every  tbiug  is  naught,  have 
juying  the  niuii>.-.y  they  bad 


e  lighting  began, 
every  thing  and 
iieen  placidly  en- 
ladc  by  the  trade 
1  in  their  sleeves 

The  third  and  infinitely  the  "mot 
contemptible  class  is  composed  of  those  who 
sneaked  into  Canada  too  far  to  be  reached  by 
the  military  conscriptions  of  the  rebel  despotism 
at  Richmond,  but  near  enough  to  the  loyal  part 
of  the  country  to  plot  thefts,  raids,  railway 
slaughters,  the  burning  alive  of  ii.  'ocent  women 
and  children  in  theatres  and  hotels,  nd  to  in- 
stigate assassination.  These  three  elasst  were 
made  up  of  men  who  had  lived  by  the  govet.'- 
ment  which  they  tried  to  overthrow,  and  which 
they  had  taken  solemn  oaths  to  respect  and 
maintain ;  and  to  the  third  class,  4!s  we  said, 


I'n'Jm    of  Lll, 


porter  of  the  rebellion  which  hnnted,  hung, 
starved,  and  froze  thousands  of  helpless  Union 
men  and  prisoners,  should  be  suspected  of  any 
complicity  in  the  mnrder,of  one  man.  In  the 
same  letterTocKER  declares  himself  a  public  en- 
emy of  the  United  States,  and  adds,  that  before 
the  assassination  of  Mr.  Lincoln,  he  had  asked 
permission  to  go  to  Richmond  and  assist  in  the 
reconstruction  of  a  government  to  the  supreme 
authority  of  which  he  has  always  been  and  al- 
ways shall  be  opposed. 

Such  are  the  vanquished  rtmel  leaders  as  they 
describe  themselves.  The  country  needs  no 
other  proof  of  their  spirit,  and  no  more  startling 
warning  of  the  peril  of  allowing  them  the  least 
voice  in  the  political  settlement, of  the  nation. 
There  ia  not  one  of  Lee's  former  slaves,  the 
men  whom  he  and  his  fellow-conspirators,  like 
Beverly  Tucker,  have  outraged  and  despised 
—the  men  who  have  been  a 
to  their  country  as  Lee  and 


tbier  citizen  of  the  United  States  and  fitter  to 
be  intrusted  with  a  vote  than  Robert  E.  Lee, 
who,  in  his  tent,  might  have  almost  heard  the 
groans  of  the  starving,  rotting  soldiers  of  the 
Union  upon  Belle  Isle  and  in  Libby  prison,  yet 
who  spoke  never  a  word  nor  lifted  a  finger  for 
their  relief;  and  who  publishes  Iub  increasing 
admiration  of  the  fidelity  of  traitors  to  their 
treason ;  or  than  Beverly  Tucker,  who  in- 
solently proclaims  his  pride  that  he  is  a  public 

These  men  are  representatives  of  that  class  of 

leaders  at  the  South  who  inspired  and  consum- 
mated the  bloody  rebellion.  They  are  silent 
guns,  but  loaded  still ;  silent,  not  spiked  or 
broken,  and  ready  at  any  favorable  moment  to 
open  fire  again  upon  the  national  life  and  honor. 
They  are  the  dragon's  teeth,  which  are  now  in 
the  strong  hand  of  the  American  Government 
and  people.  That  hand  may  hold  them  harm- 
less, or  it  may  sow  them  again,  and  reap  an- 
other bloody  harvest  of  armed  men.  But  if 
the  nation  is  as  true  as  it  is  strong,  it  will  se- 
cure peace  by  the  entire  political-  distrain  hise- 

E.  Lee  and  Beverly  Tucker,  witli  all  the 

"Jui  ringleaders  of  the  rebellion. 


ve  had  really 
come  to  believe  not  only  that  a  man  denounced 
shivery  there  at  the  peril  of  his  life,  but  we 
seemed  to  suppose  that  there  was  nothing  to  be 
done.  Yet  every  man  whom  the  Southern  mob 
or  the  Northern  mob  hunted  and  burned  or  hang- 
ed for  expressing  his  opinion  of  slavery  was  a 
martyr  to  the  country ;  and  a  thoughtful  man 
might  have  seen  that  in  time  of  peace  the  free 
discussion  of  every  question  must  be  protected 
every  where  or  war  would  inevitably  follow. 

Curses  like  chickens  come  home  to  roost. 
The  men  who  have  supported  slavery  and  ac- 
cused its  discussion  as  an  attack  upon  the  rights 
of  slaveholders — with  as  much  reason  as  they 
might  stigmatize  the  discussion  of  free  trade  as 
an  attack  Upon  the  rights  of  manufacturers — the 
men  who  have  incited  and  excused  the  mobs 
against  anti-slavery  discussions  at  the  North, 
are  now  occasionally  reaping  what  they  have 
sown.  But  the  danger  is  the  same.  The 
mob  of  Boston  which  would  have  hung  Mr. 
Garrison,  thirty  years  ago,  for  denouncing 
slavery,  and  the  Philadelphia  mob  which  as- 
saulted a  man  named  Ingersoll  for  sympa- 
thizing with  the  most  infamous  traitors,  are 
equally  guilty.     If  Mr.  Garrison  had  not  of- 


known,  was  not  arrested  by  the  authorities,  no 
man  had  a  right  to  molest  him. 

That  a  man's  opinions  are  an  outrage  to  the 
puMic  sentiment  is  not  a  crime  to  be  punished 
until  the  law  ordains  it ;  and  when  it  does  or- 
dain it,  the  authorized  agents  of  the  law  must

PRESIDENT  LINCOLN'S  AMNESTY. 

By  his  proclamation  of  the  8th  of  December, 
1SC3,  President  Lincoln  granted  a  full  pardon 
—with  certain  exceptions  which  we  will  pres- 
ently state — to  all  who  had  been  in  rebellion, 
with  a  full  restoration  of  all  rights  of  property 
except  in  slaves  and  in  cases  where  the  rights 
of  third  parties  had  intervened,  and  upon  con- 
dition of  taking  and  subscribing  and  keeping  in- 
iolate  an  oath  to  support  and  defend  the  Con- 


and  the  Union  under  i 


faithfully  by- 


laws of  Congress,  and  by 


slaves,  so  far  as  they  are  not  repealed  or  de- 
clared void  by  the  Supreme  Court. 

The  persons  excepted  from  this  amnesty  were 


fleers  and  agents  of  the 
who  have  left  judicial  stations  under  the  United 
States  to  aid  the  rebellion— all  who  are  or  have 
been  military  and  naval  officers  above  the  rank

If  the  statement  of  a  letter  in  the  Worcester

United  States  Christian  Commission  owe  a  pub- 
lic apology  to  the  American  people  for  the  con- 
duct of  a  body  of  their  agents.  The  letter  of 
which  we  speak  asserts  that  "a  detachment  of  the 
United  States  Christian  Commission  consisting 
of  seven"  called  to  pay  their  "  respects"  to  Gen- 
eral Robert  E.  Lee.  It  was  unfortunate  for 
these  gentlemen  that  "President"  Jefferson 
Davis,  and  "  Secretary"  Benjamin,  and  "Sen-

cause  which  he  confesses  was  not  justified  in  ap- 

staid  behind  intrenchments  until  Grimx  forced 
him  out.  He  is  not  a  gentleman  because  he 
lived  by  the  sweat  of  other  men's  brows.  He  is 
not  less  guilty  of  the  highest  crime  against  his 
country  because  he  excuses  himself  as  all  trai-

ie the  fire-place,  the  yellow  map  that 
the  mantle-piece,  the  tape-tied  pa- 
pers on  the  table,  were  all  thickly  coated  with 
white  dust.  There  was  nothing  fresh  or  bright 
within  those  four  walls,  except  a  huge  green 
safe  with  paneled  iron  doors  and  glittering 
scutcheons,  fixed  into  a  recess  beside  the  tiie.- 
place.  There  were  only  two  old-fashioned, 
horse-hair  covered  chairs  in  the  room.  There 
was  not  even  a  carpet  on  the  floor.  A  more 
comfortless  place  could  scarcely  be  conceived 
beyond  the  walls  of  a  prison  :  and  yet,  perhaps, 
it  was  not  move  comfortless  than  such  places 
generally  are. 

It  was  the  private  room  of  "William  Trefakleu, 
Esquire,  attorney  at  law,  and  it  opened  out  from 
tin-  si  ill  drearier  cilice  in  which  his  clerks  were

an  almanac  on  each  mantle-shelf.  The  hands 
of  both  clocks  pointed  to  half  past  four,  and  (he

William  Trefalden  was  simply  a  gentlemanly,

wall  of  forehead,  which  literally  overbalanced  the 
proportions  of  his  face,  thev  scarcely  observed 
the  delicacy  of  his  other  features.  The  clear 
pallor  of  his  complexion,  the  subtle  moulding  ot 
his  mouth  and  chin,  were  altogether  disregarded 
by  those  superficial  observers.  Even  his  eyes, 
large,  brown,  luminous  as  they  were,  lost  much. 
of  their  splendor  beneath  that  superincumbent 
weight  of  brow.  His  age  was  thirty-eight ;  bet 
he  looked  older.  His  hair  was  thick  and  dark, 
ami  sprinkled  lightly  here  and  there  with  silver. 
Though  slender,  he  was  particularly  well  made— 
so  well  made  that  it  seemed  impossible  to  him  to 
move  um'racefullv.  His  hands  were  white  and

THE  SOLDIER'S  WIFE. 

u!   weep  not,  weep  not,  mother, 
And  dry  your  tears,  fond  wife, 

our  sorrow  is  not  anguish, 
You  have  not  iost  a  life; 

on,  with  a  proud,  sweet  sadness, 
In  nil  the  after-days, 


While  I,  in  t'iiKT  ivuiiiiis, 
Can  only  bow  my  head, 

.lA/  heart  alone  preserving 
The  memory  of  my  dead. 


The  ones  who  met  defeat — 
And  yet  he  fought  as  bravely 
As  cheerfully  he  died, 


Thu3  spoke  she,  standing  sadl 

In  the  doorway  of  the  room 
Before  her  lay  the  sunshine, 

Behind  her  lay  the  gloom  ; 
She  could  not  take  the  token 

The  light  around  her  shed- 
Her  heart  was  ever  sighing, 

"My  day  of  joy  has  fled!" 

At  last,  with  sudden  courage, 

She  raised  her  limid  eyes— 
What  sight  had  changed  her  ; 

To  such  a  glad  surprise  r 
What  form  is  that  ape 

Whose  arms  enfold 
Whose  lips  are  pressin 

On  lip,  ami  -h._--.-k.  t 


And,  li-tening  to  the  story, 

So  seldom  heard  below, 
Of  light  instead  of  darkness, 

And  joy  instead  of  woe— 
Her  heart  is  singing  praises 

That  he  indeed  was  spared, 
And  in  the  hour  of  triumph 

With  double  joy  had  shared.

THE  BLACKS  AND  THE  BALLOT.

|N  his  ( 


tablished  in  harmony  with  the  Constitution  and 
Laws  of  the  United  States."  This  is  a  clear 
statement  of  the  exact  situation  of  the  late  insur- 
rectionary States.  It  is  desirable,  upon  c\ary 
aecount,  that  there  shall  be  as  little  delay  as  pos- 
sible in  intrusting  the  local  government  of  the 
States  to  their  own  loyal  inhabitants.  But  it  is 
plain  that  the  immediate  authority  of  the  na- 
tional government  can  not  safely  be  relaxed  un- 
til that  proportion  of  the  adult  male  population 
of  a  State  which  guarantees  internal  security  is 
empowered  to  vote.  The  question  of  the  hour 
then  is,  when  the  Government  is  ready  to  allow 


Ote? 

By-the  Constitution  of  "Virginia  R.  M.  T.  Hon- 
ek  is  a  legal  voter  in  that  State.  Would  the 
loveinment  of  the  United  States  allow  him  to 
ote  there  now  ?  Undoubtedly  not.  The  Con- 
titution  of  South  Carolina  did,  and  probably 


persons  I 


id  dollars.  Would  not  the 
United   States  now  permit 

ote  there?  Undoubtedly. 
There  is  no  authority  at  present  in  Virginia  and 
South  Carolina  except  that  of  the  United  States  ; 
and  they,  and  no  other  power,  will  decide  who  is 
to  vote  in  reconstructing  those  States.  The  con- 
ditions of  voting  will  be  prescribed  by  the  United 


And 


1  States  so  determ- 


In  the  States  of  which  we  i 
three  classes:  the  hopeless  rcl 
w  bites,  and  the  blacks.  The  firs 
is  the  smallest,  and  it  will  be 

and  dangerous,  the  Bourbons  n 


o  of  the  States  they 
are  a  majority  of  the  whole  population.  In  five 
others  they  are  more  than  one-third,  and  in  ev- 
ery one  of  the  old  Slaves  States  they  are  enough, 
when  united  *with  the  loyal  whites,  to  control 
the  State.    Upon  what  good  grounds,  therefore, 

zens  of  the  Southern  States?  They  are  the 
sturdy  working-class.  They  have  always  been 
unfalteringly   true  to  the  Government.      Had 

cause  with  the  rebels  chiefs,  as  the  poorer  whites 
were  obliged  to  do — the  triumph  of  the  Govern- 
ment would  have  been  indefinitely  delayed. 
They  are  free  men,  and  the  plainest  good  poli- 
cy requires  that  their  self-respect  be  aroused,  and 
their  willing  industry  encouraged,  without  which 
no  class  of  citizens  is  contented  or  valuable. 
There  is  but  one  way  of  securing  this  result. 


Thatt 


and  black,  is  ignorant,  is  very  t

.  to  our  thinking  a  much  sounder  and 
)r  than  Robert  Toomus.     Any  black 

has  Mieeorcd  a  Union  soldier  escaping 


Benjamin,  or  Pierre  Soule, 
tl.  Stephens,  or  John  Slideli., 
or  Wade  Haslpton,  or  Charles  J.  Faulkner. 
The  question  is  not  whether,  abstractly,  polit- 
ical privilege  should  depend  upon  education. 
It  is,  whether  in  States,  which  we  wish  to  re- 
store to  their  peculiar  action  in  our  national 
system  at  the  earliest  moment,  we  shall  require 

fidelity  has  saved  the  nation  which  are  not  re- 
quired of  the  whites  in  the  same  States,  nor  in 
other  States  of  ignorant  foreigners  who  can  not 
speak  our  language,  and  who  have  no  especial 
interest  in  our  institutions.  Instruct  them,  say 
some,  and  their  political  rights  will  follow.  But 
why  is  that  not  equally  true  of  the  whites  ?  If 
ignorance  is  the  difficulty,  why  intrust  the  States 
to  ignorant  white  men  ?  By  such  a  plan  a  dis- 
at  the  outset  based  upon 


it,  and  favors  those  who  have  been  false.  The 
mischief  is  incalculable.  For  by  that  act  it 
recognizes  what  is  called  the  inferiority  of  the 
blacks,  which  has  been  always  urged  as  the  rea- 
son for  enslaving  them.  After  such  a  prece- 
dent, is  the  class  of  ignorant  white  loyalists  who 
have  believed,  and  do  still  believe,  that  blacks  are 
made  to  be  slaves,  likely  to  educate  or  enfran- 
chise them?  The  whites  may  not  be  able  to 
enslave  the  blacks,  bnt  they  will  in  every 
de-pise  and  degrade 


disfranchised 


class  ]ia>  a  tair  chance.  And  the  very  fact  that 
the  blacks  have  been  mado  personally  free  will 
make  them  discontented  so  long  as  they  are  dis- 
franchised. They  will  presently  refuse  to  be 
governed  by  a  minority.  If  they  can  not  have 
leual  redress  they  will  still  try  to  redress  them- 
selves.    Is  this  the  way  to  peace? 

The  colored  race,  was  brought  into  this  coun- 
try against  its  will  and  by  our  inhumanity 
and  cupidity.  It  has  wonderfully  increased  un- 
til there  are  now  some  four  millions  of  them 
among  us.  Their  blood  in  every  degree  is  min- 
gled with  the  blood  of  the  whites.  They  are 
men  and  Americans  as  much  as  we.  Their  an- 
cestors came  from  Africa,  as  ours  from  England, 
Holland,  Germany,  or  Ireland.  They  are  an 
essential,  integral,  inevitable,  most  vnluable  and 
important  part  of  our  population.  Having  been 
sign  of  servility, 


nslaved,  their  color  has  t 


:e  and  the  objects  of  the  most 
contempt.  They  have  not  re- 
sisted, tor  resistance  was  hopeless.  They  have 
protested  silently  by  still  wearing  the  form  of 
man,  of  which  we  could  not  deprive  them.  Their 
long  patience  which  merely  hardened  our  hearts 
did  not  alienate  God.  Whom  we  forgot  he  re- 
membered. Our  history  darkened.  The  State 
right  to  enslave,  which  we  held  ourselves  bound 


The*

free,  which  we  could  notdeny, 
not  raise  a  hand,  but  the  criBis 
political  and  commercial  effort  to  outrage  na- 
ture and  to  treat  men  as  brutes  and  chattels 
culminated  in  a  civil  war  which  has  spent  cost- 
ly lives  not  to  be  counted,  and  wasted  the  long 
accumulated  profits  of  our  sin.  It  has  steeped 
us  in  blood  to  our  lips,  and  utterly  failed ;  and 
kneeling  among  the  dead  and  mangled  bodies 
of  our  first-born  and  best  beloved,  amidst  the 
fire  and  storm  of  battle,  we  have  acknowledged 


that  God  has  made  of  one  blood  all  the  nations 

We  have  now  the  power  and  the  opportunity 
of  settling  this  question  of  the  colored  race  in 
this  country  which  has  rent  us  from  the  begin- 
ning, and  will  heave  and  harry  us  until  it  is  put 
honorably  to  rest.  We  have  already  declared 
them  to  he  men  and  citizens.  Our  Govern- 
ment rests  upon  the  broad  principle  that  gov- 
ernments justly  exist  by  the  consent  of  the  gov- 
erned. For  that  principle  the  colored  men 
fought  with  our  fathers  in  the  Revolution ;  and 
side  by  side  in  the  fiercest  fields  of  this  war  they 
have  defended  it  side  by  side  with  our  brothers. 
Within  the  enemy's  lines  they  have  been  the 
guides,  the  messengers,  tho  friends  upon  whom 
we  have  uniformly  relied.  To  see  a  black  face 
was  to  find  a  true  heart.  Do  we  mean  to  be  as 
faithful  and  honorable  and  friendly  as  they  have 
been  ?  Do  we  mean  to  trust  them  as  they  have 
trusted  us?  Do  we  mean  to  give  them  tho 
chance  of  securing  their  own  welfare  as  we  have 
the  chance  of  securing  ours  ?  Do  we  mean  to 
be  just  ?     If  we  do,  we  shall  give  them  a  vote  in

3  after  the  late  terrible  events  it 
Mr.  Sewakd  might  have  been 
so  seriously  injured  by  his  accident  and  the  sub- 
sequent murderous  assault  as  to  be  compelled  to 
retire  fr«m  the  public  service.  As  that  appre- 
hension has  been  happily  dispelled,  and  as  the 
characteristic  assertion  of  some  of  the  Northern 
friends  of  the  rebellion  that  Mr.  Seward  ought 

would  be  so  distasteful  to  Messrs.  Lee,  Davis, 
Wigfall,  &  Company  as  to  disincline  them  to 
submission,  has  also  disappeared  in  derisive 
laughter,  it  is  now  insinuated  by  those  who  sug- 
gest what  they  desire  that  President  Johnson's 
policy  will  not  have  the  cordial  support  of  the 


resign.  Those  who  say  tins  are

President  and  Secretary  in  their  general  policy. 


pie  of  the  South  as  distinguished  from  the  plant- 
ing aristocracy,  was  the  very  kind  of  leader  by 
whom  the  political  power  of 
ultimately 


spirators  in  the  Senate.  As  Secretary  of  State 
Mr.  SEWARDhad  supported  Mr.  Lincoln's  "Bor- 
der-State policy,"  as  it  was  impatiently  called  ; 
and  it  was  while  pursuing  that  policy  that  Mr. 
Lincoln  had  appointed  his  friend  Mr.  Johnson 
Military  Governor  of  Tennessee.  With  his  ad- 
ministration there  Mr.  Seward  had  been,  of 
course,  officially  familiar. 

As  the  time  for  the  meeting  of  the  Union 
nominating  Convention  approached,  the  perilous 
chances  of  the  civil  war  made  it  essential  that 
a  candidate  for  the  Vice-Presidency  should  be 
named  whose  character  and  career  certified  that, 
in  case  of  his  succession  to  the  Presidency,  the 
established  policy  of  the  Government  would  not 

most  earnestly  desired  was  Andrew  Johnson. 

When  the  Convention  assembled  the  nomi- 
nation of  Mr.  Lincoln  was  a  foregone  conclu- 
sion. But  the  candidate  for  the  Vice-Presidency 
was  not  so  easily  determined.  One  point,  how- 
ever, was  universally  admitted  by  the  wiser  part 
of  the  Convention.  Pure  and  honorable  as  Mr. 
Hamlin's  career  had  been,  and  personally  unex- 
ceptionable as  he  was,  his  nomination  was  not 
advisable.  As  the  Convention  was  composed 
of  men  who  had  heretofore  acted  with  different 
political  parties,  political  comity  required  that 
the  Union  Convention  of  1864  should  not  repeat 
the  party  action  of  the  Republican  Convention 
of  1860,  but,  by  naming  a  candidate  formerly 
identified  with  the  Democratic  party,  should 
prove  that  it  appealed  to  no  partisan  traditions, 
but  to  the  hearty  sympathy  of  all  Union  men  in 
the  country.  Who  should  this  candidate  be  ? 
It  was  upon  this  question  that  the  caucusing  of 
the  Convention  turned.  For  whom  would  the 
sixty-six  votes  of  New  York  be  cast  ?  As  they 
went,  so  would  the  Convention  probably  go.  It 
was  soon  clear  that  the  choice  practically  lay 
between  Mr.  Johnson  and  Mr.  Dickinson  of 
New  York,  and  it  seems  to  us  indisputable  that 
the.  final  decision  was  made  in  the  caucus  of  the 
New  York  delegation,  and  made  by  the  friends 
of  Mr.  Seward  in  favor  of  Andrew  Johnson. 

Mr.  Lyman  Tremaine,  the  old  political  friend 
or  Mr.  Dickinson,  very  properly  and  very  pow- 
erfully led  the  Dickinson  movement.  Mr. 
Dickinson's  long  identification  with  the  Demo- 


Government  ;  his  incessant  and  effective  service 

of  one  hundred  and  eight  thousand  votes  in  Ins 
own  State  as  the  Union  candidato  for  Attorney 
General  showing  his  great  popularity  in  tho 
State  which  it  was  necessary  to  carry  at  the 
Presidential  election  ;  his  national  fame  ;  his 
spotless  character ;  his  heroic  repudiation  of  old 
party  ties  ;  all  these  arguments  were  pungently 
and  impressively  presented  by  Mr.  Tremaine, 


i  -houed  how  hearty  was 


Int 


the  New  York  delegation  Mr.  Tremalne  was 
supported  by  some  who  had  no  sympathy  what- 
ever with  the  party  to  which  he  and  Mr.  Dick- 
inson had  belonged,  but  who  regarded  tho  lattar 

tive  of  what  wns  called  the  War  Democracy, 
and  who  thought  that  his  nomination  would 
greatly  strengthen  the  ticket  in  the  State  of 


aininaled 


New  York 

The  discussion  in  the  en 
and  exciting.  It  betrayed 
animosities  which  prevail  in  New  York  politics. 
But  tho  one  thing  steadily  obvious  in  all  the 
tumultuous  conflict  of  opinion  was  that  the 
friends  of  Mr.  Seward  were  favorable  to  An- 
dre* Johnson.  Mr.  Preston  King  and  Mr. 
Raymond  tranquilly  urged  the  irresistible  ad- 
vantages of  a  candidate  who  was  a  Southerner, 
a  Border-State  man,  an  old  Democrat,  yet  a 
Union  man  who  had  been  tried  in  the  fire  of  the 
hate  of  the  rebel  chiefs  whom  he  had  denounced. 
They  pleaded  his  solitary  fidelity  in  the  midst 
of  the  defection  of  his  old  associates  in  the  Sen- 
ate ;  his  actual  Bufferings  in  the  a 
enntidence  reposed  in  him  by  Mr. 
had  intrusted  to  him  one  of  the  most  difficult 
and  delicate  of  responsibilities  at  a  most  critical 
time.     They  depicted  the  cordial  sympathy  be- 


Presidem?  and  Mr.  Johnson,  and  t

practical  experience  ot'pulilir 


by  selecting  a  candidate  wdio  did  not  live  in  the 
State  of  New  York  the  dangers  of  political  di- 
vision in  that  State  would  be  avoided.  They  did  . 
not  forget  to  recall  also  that,  in  all  the  long! 
course  of  a  public  life  during  which  he  hud 
been  an  ardent  and  conspicuous  actor,  his  per- 
sonal character  had  been  unsullied  by  suspicion. 
No  man  could  deny  that  Andrew  Johnson  was 
a  name  so  identified  with  unswerving  devotion 
and  willing  sacrifice  to  the  country  that  it  would* 
be  hailed  with  vast  popular  enthusiasm. 

Meanwhile  Mr.  Dickinson's  friends  were  not 
idle,  and  his  chances  were  imposing.  Mr.  Simon 
Cameron  came  to  offer  the  fifty-two  votes  of 
Pennsylvania  for  Mr.  Dickinson  if  New  York 
would  unite  upon  him.  Many  of  the  New  En- 
gland delegations  were  ready  to  adopt  him  upon 
the  same  condition.  But  the  friends  of  Mr. 
Seward,  without  denying  the  claims  of  Mr. 
Dickinson,  still  held  firmly  that  it  was  wiser  to 
nominate  Mr.  Johnson.    Had  they  yielded,  Mr. 

United  States.  It  is  pleasant  to  remember  that 
when  afterward  in  the  Convention  it  appeared 
that  Mr.  Johnson  had  a  larger  vote  than  any 
other  candidate,  the  friends  of  Mr.  Dickinson 
at  once  acquiesced.  The  vote  of  New  York  wns 
thrown  as  a  unit,  and  it  was  Mr.  Tremaine  who 
promptly  and  honorably  moved  that  the  nomin- 
ation of  Mr.  Johnson  should  be  made  unani- 
mous by  the  Convention,  Nor  is  it  less  agree- 
able to  record  that  one  of  the  last  acts  of  Presi- 
dent Lincoln,  at  the  earnest  request  of  the 
Secretary  of  State,  Wi 
Dickenson,  to  his  own  great  i 
present  responsible  post.

man  as  to  murder  hundreds  of  men  by  st

knowledge  of  these  chiefs  who  by  a  word 

have  prevented  it.    The  poor  crazed,  emac 

living  soldiers  who  were  sent  to  Annapolis 

within  the  rebel  lines  were  tortured  and 

with  the  complicity  of  Davis,  Lee,  Bbkj 

and  the  rest.     The  fact  of  the  starvatioi

HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


The  villains  who  tried  to  throw  railroad  trains 
from  the  truck — who  descended  upon  remote  in- 
land villages  to  pillage,  burn,  and  kill— who 
would  have  burned  down  museums  and  hotels 
full  of  innocent  women  and  children— who  bought 
plague-tainted  rags  to  disseminate  promiscuous 
death— are  surely  not  too  virtuous  to  poison  wells 
or  to  murder  with  the  pistol  or  knife.  And  the

for  the  destruction  of  a  mild  and  equal  Govern-

who  deliberately  spurn  and  deny  the  most  sacred 
rights  of  man,  embark  in  an  enterprise  of  which

Slavery  imbmtes  the  masters,  at  least,  whatever

It  was  October  then.  So  many  months  of  life 
yet?  It  seemed  like  a  priceless  boon.  Nearly 
half  a  year  to  live  ?  Oh  what  a  world  of  love  should 
be  crowded  into  that  time  !  And  I  believed  him, 
too.     I  don't  know  why,  but  I  did. 

The  winter  rolled  by  slowly,  and  he  did  not  die. 
Sometimes  I  would  feel  a  wild  hope  that  he  might 
recover,  and  he  would  see  it  shining  in  my  eyes, 

flu-  unspoken  thought. 

'•  In  the  spring,"  he  said,  very  often — "id  the 
spring  I  shall  die." 

The  spring  came  too  bood.  The  robins  began  to

sat  by  the  open  window,  gazing  earnestly  down 
the  road.     It  was  a  beautiful  day.     The  air  was  as 

balmy  as  Juno,  and  the  birds  were  flying  about  and 
twittering  joyou-ly  in  the  trees.     Presently  Philip

Amidst  my  tears  I  read  tho  news.  Richmond 
was  evacuated  and  our  troops  occupied  it.  Jeff 
Davis  was  Hying  lor  his  life,  and  Lee's  whole  army

minutes  before  he  saw  a  bright  shaft  of  sunlight 
piercing  the  fringed  houghs  some  few  yards  in 
advance.  Then  the  moss  became  suddenly  gold- 
en beneath  his  feet,  and  he  found  himself  on  the 
verge  of  an  open  plateau,  with  the  valley  lying 
in  deep  shade  some  tour  hundred  feet  below,  and 
the  warm  sun  glowing  on  his  face.  There  ran 
the  steel-gray  river,  eddying  but  inaudible: 
there  opened  the  broad  Rheinthul,  leading  away 
mile  after  mile  into  the  dim  distance,  with 
glimpses  of  white  Alps  on  the  horizon;  while 
close  by,  within  fifty  yards  of  the  spot  on  which 
h.'  was  standing,  rose  the  ivied  walls  of  the 
Chateau  Rotzberg. 

This,  then,  was  the  home  to  which  his  great- 
grandfather's eldest  son  had  emigrated  one  hun- 
dred years  before — ibis  the  birth-place  of  the 
heir-at-law  !  William  Trefalden  smiled  some- 
what bitterly  as  he  paused  and  looked  upon  it. 

It  was  a  thoroughly  Swiss  medieval  dwelling, 
utterly  irregular,  and  consisting  apparently  of  a 
cluster  of  some  five  or  six  square  turrets,  no  two 
of  which  were  of  the  same  size  or  height.  They 
were  surmounted  alike  by  steep  slated  roofs  and 
grotesque  weather-cocks  ;  and  the  largest,  which

It  was  standing  partly  open — a  massy  oaken

The  young  man  bent  forward,  and  whispered, 
"  llrietiv.  then,  dearest  father." 

Mr.  Trefahlen's  quick  ear  caught  the  almost 
inaudible  warning.     It  was  his  destiny  to  gain 

The  pastor  nodded,  somewhat,  impatiently, 
and  launched  into  what  was  evidently  a  favor- 
ite topic. 

"  Look  round,"  he  said,  "  at  these  monntains. 
They  have  their  local  names,  as  the  Galandn, 
,  the  Ringel,  the  Albula,  and  so  forth ;  but  they 
have  also  a  general  and  classified  name.  They 
are  the  KliLVtian  Alps.  Among  them  lie  numer- 
ous valleys,  of  which  this,  the  Hintcr-Rhein- 
Thal  is  the  chief.  Yonder  lie  the  passes  of  the 
Splugen  and  the  Stelvio,  and  beyond  them  the 
plains  of  Lombardy.  You  probublv  know  this 
already;  but  it  is  important  to  my  explanation 
that  you  should  have  a  correct  idea  of  our  geog- 
raphy  bore  in  the  Grisoos." 

Mr.  Trefalden  bowed,  and  begged  him  to  pro- 
ceed.    Saxon  ate  his  supper  in  silence. 

"Well,"  continued  the  pastor,  "about  two 
thousand  eight  hundred  years  ago,  these  Alps 
were  peopled  by  a  hardy  aboriginal  race,  speak- 
ing the  same  language,  or  the  germs  of  the  same

They  wearied  of  their  barren  fastnesses.  They 
poured  down  into  tho  southern  plains.  They 
expelled  the  native  Umbrians,  'and  settled  as 
conquerors  in  that  part  of  Italy  which  lies  north 
of  Ancona  and  the  Tiber.  There  they  built

according  io  the  decreed  fate  of  nations,  they 
fell  through  their  own  luxury,  and  were  en-

or  the  Celt,  they  fled  back  at  last  to  these  same 
mountains  from  which  they  had  emigrated  long 
centuries  before  ;  that  they  erected  some  of  those 
strong-holds,  the  imperishable  ruins  of  which  yet 
stand  above  our  passes  ;  and  that  in  this  Rhseto-

Now  it  happened,  somewhat  unluckily,  that 
Mr.  Trefalden  bad  lately  read,  somewhere  or  an- 
other, a  review  of  somebody's  book  on  this  very 
subject;  so,  when  tho  old  man  paused,  quite 
warm  and  Hushed  with  his  own  eloquence,  he 
f.unid  bnn-rli'  pivpsircd  with  a  reply. 

"If,"  said  he,  "I -had  not  taken  an  impres- 
sion— if,  in  short,  I  had  not  understood  that  the 
Etruscans  were  originally  a  Lydian  tribe — " 

"  You  took  that  impression  from  Herodotu9 !" 

"No;  for  the  best  of  reasons.  I  never  was 
Grecian  enough  lo  do  battle  with  Herodotus." 

"  From  Tacitus,  then?" 

'•  I'o.-sihly  from  Tacitus." 

"Yes,  Tacitus  supports  that  theory,  but  he  is 
wroug  ;  so  docs  Herodotus,  and  he  is  wrong  ;  so 
do  Strabo,  Cicero,  Seneca,  Pliny,  Plutarch,  Vel- 
leius  Paterculus,  Servius,  and  a  host  of  others, 
and  they  are  all  wrong — utterly  wrong — every

t  every  example  in  history  point  to  the 
contrary?  The  dwellers  in  plains  fly  to  the 
mountains  for  refuge ;  but  emigration  flows  as 
naturally  from  the  heights  to  the  flats  as  streams 
flow  down  from  the  glaciers  to  the  valleys. 
Hcllanicus  of  Lesbos  would  have  us  believe  they 
were  Pelasgians.  Dionysius  of  Halicarnassus 
asserts  that  they  were  the  aborigines  of  the  soil.

"I  beg  your  pardon,"  interrupted  Mr.  Trefal- 
den ;  "but  when  I  said  I  had  understood  that 
the  Etruscans  were  of  Lydian  origin — " 

"They  were  nothing  of  the  kind!"  cried  the 
pastor,  trembling  with  excitement.  "If  they  had 
been  his  countrymen,  would  not  Xanthus  of 
Lydia  have  chronicled  the  event?  He  never 
even  names  them.  Can  you  conceive  an  English 
historian  omitting  the  colonization  of  America, 
or  a  Spanish  historian  passing  over  the  conquest 
of  Mexico?  No,  cousin,  you  must  forgive  mc 
for  saying  that  he  who  embraces  the  empty 
theories  of  Herodotus  and  Tacitus  commits  a 
grievous  error.  I  can  show  you  such  archre- 
ol.rj-ieal  evidence — " 

"I  assure  you,"  said  Mr.  Trefalden,  laugh- 
ingly, "that  I  have  not  the  least  disposition  to 
do  any  thing  of  the  kind.  It  is  a  subject  upon

HARPER'S  WEEKLY 


,Mat  27,1865. 


THE  MAIN  QUESTION. 

THE  late  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States, 
Roger  B.  Tanlt,  will  be  forever  infi 
for  endeavoring,  under  the  solemn  sanction  ot 
the  highest  court  in  the  land,  to  work  that  utter 
demoralization  of  ptfblic  opinion  which  would 
have  made  Jefferson  Davis's  crimes  unneces- 
sary, even  for  his  own  purposes.  The  present 
Chief  Justice,  Salmon  P.  Chase,  will  he  forever 
honored  as  the  first  eminent  public  man  who  has 
proposed  that  policy  which  will  render  all  future 
crimes  like  Davis's  abortive.  In  a  letter  read 
at  the  twelfth  American  Congregational  Reunion 
in  Brooklyn  Chief  Justice  Chase  writes:  "I 
■would  like  to  say  to  tho  Christians  who  shall 


man  has  an  equal  right  to  a  share  in  political 
power.  Suffrage  for  colored  Americans  is, 
therefore,  not  a  privilege  for  which  we  plead— 
it  is  a  right  which,  as  American  citizens,  we 
consistently  demand.  Nor  is  the  claim  of  this 
right  vitiated  by  any  traditional  and  uniform 

box.  Mr.  Justice  Curtis,  in  his  masterly  opin- 
ion dissenting  from  that  of  Chief  Justice  Taney 
in  the  Dked  Scott  case,  distinctly  declares  that, 
in  his  opinion,  it  is  untrue  that  the  Continental 
Congress  intended  to  say  that  the  white  race 
exclusively  were  endowed  with  the  natural  rights 
asserted  in  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  It 
is  from  these  rights  that  our  political  rights 
spring.  And  that  there  may  be  no  doubt  that 
the  fathers  did  not  mean  to  make  color  a  po- 
litical disqualification,  it  is  enough  to  cite  the 
action  of  Congress  on  the  25th  of  June,  1778, 
when,  in  discussing  the  articles  of  Confedera- 
tion, South  Carolina,  always  Tory  and  nris- 
tocrntic,   proposed  the  insertion  of  the  word 


Eight  states  voted  against  it,  two  for  it,  and  one 
was  divided.  The  Constitution  of  the  United 
States  was  subsequently  adopted  by  the  voters 
in  the  several  States,  and  South  Carolina  was 
the  only  one  in  which  color  was  a  disability. 

The  conditions  of  suffrage  in  the  States  at 
the  beginning  were  either  of  age,  personal  free- 
dom, property,  or  residence,  except  in  South 
Carolina.  North  Carolina,  Virginia,  Georgia, 
Maryland,  Delaware,  all  admitted  colored  voters 
if  they  were  old  enough,  had  lived  long 


ing  demoralization  of  the  public  mind  produced 
by  slavery.  White  citizens  at  the  North  sacri- 
ficed the  political  rights  of  their  colored  fellow- 


abject  9 


Mil'  Southern  slave  interest, 
-as  the  price  of  the 
Thus  in  the  State 
of  New  York,  by  the  first  Constitution,  "every 
male  inhabitant  of  full  age,"  who  had  lived  six 
months  in  the  county,  who  had  a  small  free-

Habitual  drunkenness  is  a  disability  ;  yet  it  does

We  may  add  that  slavery  was  not  satisfied 
with  restricting  or  destroying  the  political  equal- 
ity of  colored  citizens  in  the  free  States.  But  the 
laws  passed  in  some  of  these  States  to  protect 
the  personal  liberty  of  colored  men,  to  prevent 
the  native  free  inhabitants  of  Wisconsin  and 
Massachusetts  from  being  kidnapped  by  James 
M.  Mason  and  his  confederates  and  sold  in  Vir- 
ginia  and  elsewhere  as  slaves,  was  among  the 
pretenses  for  rebellion  which  Mason  and  hi:

the  will  of  those  who  are  unfriendly  to  them, 
is  doubtful  whether  mere  emancipation  is  an

and  the  people  who  were  too  ignorant  to  see

denly that  justice  is  the  truest  policy.  Why 
should  we  expect  of  the  whites  of  North  Caro- 
lina and  Georgia,  even  when  they  are  loyal, 
what  we  do  not  find  in  the  intelligent  Empire 
State?  When  the  gilded  clubs  of  the  Fifth 
Avenue  in  New  York  refuse  to  recognize  free 
colored  men  as  equal  citizens,  how  can  we  ask 
the  hovels  of  Alabama  ami  Mississippi  to  ac- 
knowledge the  equal  rights  of  those  who  have 
been  always  despised  slaves?  Five  years  ago 
the  white  citizens  of  the  State  of  New  York  con- 
temptuously declared  that  color  should  be  a  po- 
litical disability,  and  that  ignorance  and  drunk- 
enness should  not.  Would  it  be  very  wonder-

upon  the  assertion  that  the  United  States  have 
nothing  to  do  with  suffrage  in  a  State — that  the 
national  Government  can  not  even  prescribe  the 
qualifications  of  voters  at  the  national  elections 
— wc  remind  him  of  the  simple  fact  that  none 
of  the  insurrectionary  States  will  ever  again  be 
organized  except  upon  the  terms  that  the  Unit- 
ed States  ordain.  Not  a  man  will  vote  in  Vir-

2d.  Five-Twenty  Bonds.  Of  these  bonds 
there  are  two  descriptions,  known  as  old  and 
new  bonds.     The  old  bonds  are  dated  in  1862, 

dated  in  i863,  and  mature  in  1 868-83.  Of 
the  former,  $5io,545,ooo  are  in  existence;  of 
the  latter,  386,000,000.     Both  are  redeemable 

but  payment  can  not  be  demanded  until  twenty 
years  have  elapsed  from  the  date  of  the  bond. 
Both  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  six  per  cent. 
per  annum,  payable  semi-annually  in  gold.  Of 
the  old  live-twenties,  a  large  proportion  are  held 
in  Europe.  When  gold  rose  here  to  25o  nnd 
above,  the  five-twenty  bonds,  which  were  offer- 
ed to  purchasers  at  par  in  legal-tender  curren- 
cy, could  be  laid  down  in  Europe  at  35  @  4o 
cents  on  the  dollar.  Our  English  friends,  who 
took  the  rebel  cotton  loan  (now  offered  at  1 3  per 
cent.)  at  or  near  par  in  gold,  would  not  touch

3d.  Ten-Forty  Bonds.  These  bonds,  of 
which  $172,770,000  are  in  existence,  are  so 
called  because  they  are  redeemable  at  the  expi- 
ration of  ten  years,  and  payable  forty  years  from 
date.  They  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  five  per 
cent.,  payable  semi-annually  in  gold.     These 

the  Government,  who  urged  that  fiveper  cent,  was 
enough  to  pay  for  money.  Agents  of  European 
hankers  likewise  suggested  that  foreigners  would 
be  more  likely  to  place  confidence  in  a  five  per 
cent,  bond  than  in  one  bearing  a  higher  rate  of 
interest.  Neither  in  this  country  nor  in  Eu- 
rope, however,  have  the  five  per  cent,  bonds  be- 
come favorites.  The  'original  issue  was  dis- 
posed of  with  difficulty,  and  very  few  of  the 
bonds  have  been  placed  in  Europe.

ties  are  so  called  because  they  bear  interest  at 
the  rate  of  7.30  per  cent,  per  annum,  payable 
in  currency.  At  the  expiration  of  three  years 
from  their  date  they  are  either  payable,  or  fund- 
able into  new  five-twenty  bonds,  at  the  wish  of 
the  holder.  Of  these  notes  few,  if  any,  have 
gone  abroad,  and  yet  in  a  few  months  six  hun-

after  the  peace,  though  the  Bank  of  England

The  United  States  in  iS65  are  a  very  different 
country  from  Great  Britain  in  i865.  Austria 
and  Russia  have  never  been  able  to  resume^  but 
those  countries  are  not  progressive. 

It  is  clear  that  no  attempt  to  resume  can  be 
made  until  the  necessity  for  borrowing  currency 
to  pay  expenses  has  passed  away.  It  is  also 
clear  that  specie  will  command  a  premium— no 
matter  how  strong  the  confidence  in  the  General 
Government — so  long  as  we  have  $900,000,000

cause  the  first  attempt  to  resume  in  England 
proved  a  disastrous  failure.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
that  our  Government  will  profit  by  the  example. 
A  currency  contraction,  to  be  successful  in  its 
object,  must  be  gradual,  and  should  extend, 
probably,  over  more  than  two  years. 

Something  will  depend  on  the  confidence 
placed  in  American  securities  by  Europeans. 
Europe  holds  over  $35o,ooo,ooo  of  our  bonds.

Should  they  do  so  gold  would  rise,  United 
States  stocks  would  fall,  and  the  difficulty  of 
funding  the  currency  would  be  increased.  If, 
instead  of  selling  the  bonds  they  hold,  Euro- 
peans should  buy  more,  or  if,  as  has  been  sug-

EARL  RUSSELL  AND  EARL  DERBY. 

If  any  eminent  American  statesman  should 
he  guilty  of  the  public  ignorance  of  current  af- 
fairs which  Earl  Russell  displays  in  his  speech, 
moving  an  address  of  sympathy  to  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States,  he  would  be  uni- 
versally ridiculed.     Earl  Russell  coolly  says: 


The  fall  of  Richmond,  the  surrender  of  Lee, 
he  flight  of  Davis,  the  general  crash  of  the  re- 
>ellion  had  not  yet  cleared  his  Lordship's  mind 
if  Mr.  Gladstone's  famous  idea  that  Jeffer- 
ion  Davis  had  "created  a  nation."     He  speaks 

vith  which  the  United  States  were  to  conclude 
f  difficulties:    as  if 


were  to  be  known  as  "  Confederates.  ' 
if  he  should  say  that,  after  the  corona- 
Wh.ma.o  III.,  his  Majesty  and  James 
a  mn>t  difficult  task  to  perform.  The 
have  performed  their  task  as 
James  did  his.  In  England  then,  as  now  in 
this  country,  there  were  the  Government  and  its 
enemies,  and  no  other  parties  or  powers. 

His  Lordship  proceeds  to  speak  of  the  procla- 
mation of  President  Lincoln  in  these  words; 
"At  a  later  period  he  made  a  communication  to 
the  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  United  States 
forces  in  which  he  proposed  that  in  certain 
States  the  slaves  should  bo  entirely  free;  hut 
at  a  later  period  he  proposed,  what  he  had  a 
constitutional  qualification  to  propose,  that  there 
should  be  an  alteration  in  the  Constitution  of 
the  United   States  by  which  compulsory  labor 


1  hereafter  be  forbidden."      It  is  incredible 
England  whose  peculiar

resolution  of  the  Convention  t\

;et  what  Earl  Russell  sait 
while  it  was  In  progress.  If  we  were  likely  to 
forget,  Earl  Derby,  the  Tory  leader  of  the 
Lords,  hasreminded  us-  With  all  the  instinct- 
ive hostility  of  aristocracy  to  triumphant  democ- 
racy, and  with  venomous  glee  at  the  chance  of 
contrasting  Earl  Russell's  words  of  to-day  with 
those  of  yesterday,  Lord  Derby  says:  "There 
may  be  differences  of  opinion  as  to  the  merits 
of  the  two  parties  who  are  contending,  the  one. 
for  cwpi.-a  and  the  other  for  iiidcpemktict;  in  the 
United  States.  I  follow  the  words  of  the  noble 
Lord  opposite." 

It  was  a  splendid  sneer;  nor,  was  it  unde- 
served by  Lord  Russell,  who,  while  that  famous 
phrase  of  his  was  still  perfectly  fresh  in  public

JEFFERSON  DAVIS. 

Tkeasox  is  the  highest  crime  known  to  the 
Constitution.  The  treason  of  Jefferson  Da- 
vis and  his  confederates  has  been  prolonged  and 
bloody  beyond  precedent.  The  Government  of 
the  United  States  owed  it  to  itself  to  spare  no 


reason  can  be  urged  why  the  law  should  not 
take  its  course.  Jefferson  Davis  must  he 
tried  for  treason.  If  convicted  he  must  be  sen- 
tenced. If  sentenced  he  must  be  executed,  un- 
less for  high  reasons  of  state  the  President  should

final  appeal  from  the  scaffold  as  a  political  vic-

capital  and  withdraws  to  wage  cruel  and  cause- 
less war  against  tho  Government,  however  im- 
posing his  rebellion  may  be,  however  its  scope 
and  duration  may  convulse  his  country  to  the 
heart  and  command  the  attention  of  the  world 
and  the  sympathy  of  an  aristocracy  every  where, 
is  still  a  criminal;  and  when  arrested  by  the 
law  will  be  brought  to  trial,  and  upon  lawful 
conviction  will  be  made  to  suffer  the  penalty, 
exactly  like  the  obscurest  thief,  and  will  not  be 
shielded  from  punishment  on  the  ground  that 
his  crime  has  involved  the  desolation  of  the 
country,  the  slaughter  of  thousands  of  innocent 
citizens,  and  the  national  embarrassment  of  a 
colossal  debt?  Can  any  lesson  be  so  perma- 
nently impressive  as  the  final  proof  by  the  sol- 
emn sanction  of  the  supreme  authority  that  trea- 
son against  the  United  States  is  not  a  political 
difference  of  opinion,  but  a  crime  whose  enor-

the  penalty  is  remitted  it  can  never  be  enforced

THE  QUEEN'S  LETTER. 

Tin-:  kind  letter  of  .sympathy  which  the  Queen 
of  England  has  written  to  Mrs.  Lcccoln  is  doubt- 
less dictated  not  only  by  her  acute  sense  of  the 
affliction  which  has  befallen  the  late  Presidi-m's 
widow,  but  also  by  her  pious  retuembram  -  ■■( 
the  friendship  for  this  country  of  the  late  Prince 
Consort.  The  letter  is  also,  whether  intention- 
ally or  not,  a  masterly  stroke  of  state  policy.     It 

feeling  which  the  head  of  the  British  Govern- 
ment cherishes  for  this  country,  and  will  nat- 
urally tend  to  soothe  the  disagreeable  remem- 
brance of  the  occasional  conduct  of  her  ministers. 
We  are  very  sure  that  the  great  mass  of  the 
people  of  England  must  understand  that  while 
we  have  marked  every  word  spoken  in  Parlia- 
ment and  elsewhere  in  the  progress  of  the  war, 
and  do  not  change  our  opinions  of  their  spirit 
and  significance,  ,ve  yet  cherish  no  national  hos- 
tility. We  do  not  forget  that  we  have  had  no 
more  constant  friends  than  certain  illustrious 
Englishmen,  whose  names  we  honor,  and  whose 
principles  we  should  gladly  see  administering 
the  Government  of  her  friendly  Majesty.

said  Mr!  Trefalden,  surprised  to  find  that  small 
JL-si  appreciated. 

'•  J i  is  a  hill  rising  westward,  on  the  right  bank

that  you  would  be  greatly  disappointed   in   all 

three.     One  is  always  disappointed  in  places  that 

depend  for  their  interest  on  remote  association." 

Saxon  made  no  reply,  and  for  a  few  moments 

they  were  both  silent.    When  they  presently  left 

the  last  belt  of  pines  behind  them  and  emerged 

upon  the  level  road,  Mr.  Trefaldcn  paused  and

"Well,  what  is  this  Swi-  franc  worth?" 

"A  hundred  rappen." 

"Then  a  rapp  is  equivalent  to  a  French  ccn-

Saxon  looked  puzzled. 

"The  rappen  are  issued  instead  of  the  old

Mr  Trei'.ilden  smiled. 

"We  don't  quite  understand  each  other  yet," 
he  said,  taking  a  Napoleon  from  the  number.

"That  seems  to  surprise  you  very  much,"  said 
Saxon,  laughingly. 

"Well— it  doe's." 

"But  it  need  not.  What  do  I  want  with

should  I  do  with  it?  What  is  money?  No- 
thing. Nothing  but  a  sign,  the  interpretation 
of  which  is  food,  clothing,  firing,  and  other  com- 
forts and  necessaries  of  life.  I  have  all  these, 
and.  having  them,  need  no  money.  It  is  suffi- 
ciently plain." 

"Ah  yes,  it  is  plain — quite  plain,"  rejoined 
the  lawyer,  abstractedly.  "I  see  it  all  now. 
You  are  perfectly  right.  Saxon.  You  would  not 
know  what  to  do  with  it  if  you  had  it.  Good-

"Good-nigh'." 

"Don't  forg  t  half  past  eight  to-morrow." 

"No,  no.     Cood-night." 

And  so  they  shook  hands  and  parted. 

Mr.  Trefalden  was  somewhat  late  that  evening 
cook  at  the  Adler  was  an 
to  be  disconcerted  by  so 
jency.  It  was  a  very  rc- 
and  Mr.  Trefalden  was 
unusually  well  disposed  to  enjoy  it.  Never, 
surely,  was  trout  more  fresh  ;  never  was  Mayon- 
naise better  flavored  ;  never  had  Lafitte  a  more 
delicate  aroma.  Mr.  Trefalden  dined  deliber- 
ately, praised  the  cook  with  the  grace  of  a  con- 
noisseur, and  lingered  luxuriously  over  his  de- 
sert. His  meditations  were  pleasant,  and  the 
claret  was  excellent. 

"  A  simple  old  pastor  with  a  mania  for  archae- 
ology," muttered  he,  as  he  sipped  his  curacoa 
and  watched  the  smoke  of  his  cigar,  "a  simple 
old  pastor  with  a  mania  for  archeology,  and  a

CHAPTER  VII. 


The  pastor  had  spoken   from   his   heart  of 
hearts  when  he  told  Mr.  Trefalden  with  what 

solicitude  lie  had  educated  his  brother's  orphan  ; 

zeal,  humility,  and  devotion  with  which  he  had 
fulfilled  that  heavy  duty.  Knowing  ihe  full  ex- 
tern of  his  responsibility,  he  had  accepted  it  I  rem 
the  very  hour  of  the  boy's  birth.  He  had  lain 
awake  night  after  night,  while  little  Saxon  was 
vet  in  his  cradle,  pondering,  and  praying,  and 
asking  himself  how  he  should  fortify  this  }onng 
soul  against  the  temptations  of  the  world.      He

again  through  all  Plutarch's  or:d>hed  Greek  ami 
Filler's  still  more  crabbed  English.  He  com- 
piled formidable  lists  of  all  kinds  of  instructive 
books  for  his  pupil's  future  reading  long  before 
his  young  ears  had  ever  heard  of  the  penances

paper  with  unobjectionable  extracts  from  the 
classic  poets,  and  made  easy  abstracts  of  Euclid 
and  Aristotle  for  his  sole  use  and  benefit.  In 
short,  he  laid  himself  down  before  the  wheels 
of  this  baby  Juggernaut  in  a  spirit  of  the  utter- 
most self-devotion  and  love,  giving  up  to  him 
every  moment  upon  which  his  pastoral  duties 
held  no  claim,  and  sacrificing  even  the  Etrus- 

The  boy's  education  may  almost  be  said  to 
have  dated  from  the  day  on  which  he  first  began 
to  laugh  and  put  out  his  little  arms  at  the  sight 
of  those  he  loved.  Uncle  Martin,  in  spite  of 
some  maternal  opposition,  took  care  of  that.  He 
asserted  his  position  at  once,  and  quietly  but

it  happened  that  his  cousin  Saxon,  the  heir  to

no  notion  of  the  value  of  a  Napoleon.

themselves  with  all  necessary  repairs;  so  that,  short-

of  coal  on  tho  property  his  brother  had  reined  to

grave,  trying  to  fancy  that  he  had  gratified  the 
wife  he  so  greatly  feared,  at  tho  cost  of  no  injustice 
to  the  nephew,  whose  claims  upon  him  were  so 
strong.  His  nephew,  yon  may  be  sure,  took  no 
such  view  of  the  affair.  Richard  wns  about  com- 
pleting the  really  excellent  education  his  uncle  had 
given  him ;  and,  just  when  he  needed  money  to 
Mart  him  in  the  world,  he  found  himself  virtually 
■  ii-inherited  almost.  Whether  he  would  at  any- 
time touch  a  sixpence  of  the  wealth  he  had  been 
trained  to  expect  depended  on  the  good  faith  of  the 
mean  and  sordid  woman  whom  hi*  uncle  had  so  un- 
righteously favored  before  him.  Granting  that  she

ley  to  go  to  a  person  so  very  likely  to  squander

(   himself  resolutely  to  battle  again!

But  no  such  day  came,  and  Richard  Ainsworth

the  small  income  which  came  with  his  wife,  and  by 
one  or  two  little  legacies  which  dropped  in  from  In-, 
relations  on  the  side  of  his  mother.  His  uncle  Tack-

him  a  few  hundred  pounds,  and  a  few  rarities  col- 
lected by  him  from  dilferent  regions  he  had  visited 
in  his  sailor's  career.  Most  of  them  went  to  orna-

would  continue  to  do  so.  Every  time  the  pulling

of  them  around  near  her  feet,  and  he  actually 
dropped  a  handful  of  them  on  lierhead.  Of  course

"It  is  Davis,  the  Spirit  of  Treason,  playing 
with  Uncus  Sam  for  his  Life.  The  scene  is 
chosen  with  a  iort  of  mysterious  reference  to 
the  whole  idea  that  is  to  be  expressed.     The 

dark  Being  to  whose  sphere  belongs  nil  that  is 
horrible,  traitorous,  and  repulsive.  It  is  n  wide 
vnnlt  whose  arch  is  formed  by  tiro  lizard-shaped 


as  well  as  their  short,  misshapen  claws,  adhere 
closely  to  its  two  pillars,  down  which  they  Becm 
to  creep.     The  upper  surface  of  a  sarcophagus 

is  transformed  into  a  chess  ' 
.Sam,  the  type  of  calm,  solf-

an  orgasm  of  disappointed  '  neutrality  ;'  while, 
lower  down,  the  claw  of  this  lion  grasping  n 
human  skull,  intimates  his  protective  govern- 
ment of  Ireland.  A  broad  cloak,  from  which 
only  his  bony,  claw-like  hands  appear,  is  thrown 
around  Davis,  and  his  hair  and  his  beard  bristle 
with  impotent  rage.  The  expression  uf  his  feat- 
ures, as  becomes  his  fallen  .state,  is  devilish  and 
hateful.  Ho  who  was  a  liar  from  the  begin- 
ning, he  who  has  played  falsely,  is  undenia- 
bly before  us,  with  all  the  rapacity  of  a  Tiger 
and  alt  the  cruelty  of  a  Hyena.  Contumely, 
scorn,  haired,  nialii'-',  ivjoieing  in  mischief,  find 
here  their  appropriate  features ;  and  tha  hand 
whose  nails  are  being  gnawed  in  baffled  fury 
may  either  conceal  a  demoniacal  grimace  at  the 
evident  defeat  of  his  schemes,  or  repress  a  hor- 
rid imprecation  before  which  the  gates  of  Hell 
would  tremble,  that  deliverance  is   no  longer

by  the  Knights,  Sherman  and  Sunn i dan,  and 
mated  by  the  opposition  of  the  Church,  has  no 
alternative  but  to  yield  to  Grant,  who,  as  King, 
may  not  press  too  closely  on  a  fallen  foe.  The

A  BIT  OF  HISTORY. 

One  of  the  fiercest  and  most  unscrupulous 
opponents  of  Secretary  Stanton  lately  insinu- 
ated that  he  was  not  as  sternly  hostile  to  rebel- 
lion while  he  was  in  the  Cabinet  of  Mr.  Bu- 
chanan as  he  has  been  in  that  of  Mr.  Lincoln 
and  Mr.  Johnson.  The  overwhelming  reply  to 
such  an  insinuation  is  fortunately  found  in  the 
Bpeech  of  Judge  Holt,  delivered  in  Charleston 
on  the  evening  of  the  day  upon  which  the  flag 
was  raised  over  Fort  Sumter.  Judge  Holt  was 
n  member  of  Mr.  Buchanan's  last  Cabinet,  with 
Mr.  Stanton  and  General  Dix.  In  his  Charles- 
ton speech  he  alludes  to  the  blunder  of  "the 
traitor  Floyd,"  in  view  of  his  own  purposes, 
when  he  selected  Major  Anderson  to  command 
in  Charleston  harbor.  Wicked  rulers  have  some- 
times been  fatally  mistaken  in  the  choice  of  in- 

"  Great,  too,  have  been  the  surprise  and  terror 
of  thc-e  wicked  rulers  when  they  have  found  their 
trusud  instruments  failing  in  their  hands:  but  per- 
haps few  of  these  exhibitions  have  equaled  that 
winch  was  witnessed  at  Washington  when  the  un- 
hdterii^  lidolitv  of  Major  Amu.kson  and  his  little 
.■onunauil  was  first  fullv  manifested.  When  intel-

slavery,  he  says, 

the  people  of  this  State,  both  in  Convention  and 
in  the  Legislature,  to  define  the  status  and  con- 
dition of  this  emancipated  race."  Mr.  Holdkn 
says  that  he  v; 

recognize  his  marriage  relations;  let  him  read 
his  Bible  and  hold  property,  "but  beyond  that 
I  leave  him  to  the  future  action  of  the  StatC3 
themselves. The  whole  vast  conti-

TWO  VOICES  FROM  NORTH 
CAROLINA. 

Several  gentlemen  have  come  from  North 
Carolina  to  Washington  to  confer  with  the  Gov- 
ernment upon  the  subject  of  the 
of  that  State.  Among  them  " 
Holden,  who  is  understood  to  be  a  representa- 
tive of  the  Union  men  at  the  South  who  are  sin- 
cerely glad  of  the  triumph  ot  the  Government. 
He  was  indeed  a  delegate  to  the  State  Conven- 
tion in  1861,  and  signed  the  ordinance  ot  seces- 
sion, because,  as  he  says,  escape  was  "  physically 
and  morally  impossible."  But  for  some  time, 
as  the  editor  of  a  paper  at  Raleigh,  Mr.  Holden 
iias  rebelled  against  the  rehelliou,  and  was  the 
"Peace"  or  Union  candidate  for  Governor 
against  Vance.  At  a  late  Union  meeting  in 
Raleigh  Mr.  Holden  made  a  3peech  which  is

Saturday,  June  10,  1865. 

THE  SECRETARY  OF  WAR  AND 

GENERAL  SHERMAN. 

TTTITH  the  exception  of  President  Lincoln 

VV  and  General  Grant,  no  men  in  the  conn- 


man,  and  every  good  citizen  sees  with  regret 
that  efforts  are  made  to  aggravate  a  misnnder- 

Wo  are  very  sure  that  a  little  calm  reflection 
will  show  each  of  those  gentlemen  and  their 
friends  that  both  of  them  have  some  reason  for 
annoyance,  but  that  neither  has  any  cause  for 
bill..,'  1,,,-tiliiv  Inwmil  the  other. 

General  Sherman's  military  sen-ices  were  so 
illustrious  and  important;  he  had  directed  with 
sneh  consummate  skill  operations  so  extensive 
and  conclusive  ;  ho  had  added  such  renown  to 
the  arms  of  the  United  States,  and  had  turned  to 
snch  signal  dismay  the  sneering  skepticism  of 


might  justly  hare  led  him  to  expect  that  if  his 

course  were  disapproved,  the  disapproval  would 

have  been  quietly  and  instantly  communicated 

to  him  and  not  published  to  the  country,  ex- 

posing him  to  injurious  criticism  and  suspicion. 

So  much  may  fairly  be  said  for  General  Sher- 

man ;  and  in  ordinarv  times,  and  at  almost  any 

other  moment  of  the  war,  such  would  doubtless 

But,  on  the  other  hand,  was  it  surprising, 

ought  it  to  astonish  General  Sherman  when  he 

reviews  all  the  circumstances,  that  the  Cabinet 

should  have  been  confounded  at  receiving  the 

news  of  so  inexplicable  an  act  at  so  critical  a 

moment  ?     The  body  of  the  late  President  still 

lay  unburied.     The  country  was  quivering  with 

wrath  at  his  murder,  and  at  the  final  proof  it

superior  officer  had  refused 
ston's  superior,  and  had  in  fact  been  figh 
him  while  he  corresponded.  The  armistice  was 
also  in  direct  opposition  to  the  unvarying  policy 
->f  President  Lincoln's  administration,  never  to 
cknowledge  the  rebels  as  lawful  belligerents 
whatever  action  the  necessity  of  any  particular 
ense,  such  as  the  exchange  of  prisoners,  might

THE  PRESIDENT'S  PLAN. 

President  Johnson  has  issued  hi?  yr<»:

Id  State  Constitution  who  take  the  oath 

provided  are,  politically  speaking,  to  be  cbh- 

Idered  the  people  of  the  State. 

This  act  of  the  National  Government  very 

properly  and  completely  recognizes  the  fact  that 


•  political  authority  i 


State  of  North  Carolir 

by  prescribing  qualifications  chooses  to 
acknowledge.     The  loyal  white  citizens  of  the 
ate  are  admitted  to  vote  not  because  the  State 
thorizes  them,  but  because  the  United  States 
rmits  them.     The  United  States  intervenes 
id  requires  a  condition  unknown  to  the  State. 
ud  the  same  power  had  the  same  right  to  re- 
quire any  other  condition.     The  question  was 
how  far  the  Government  Bhould  intervene,  what 
conditions  it  should  demand. 

The  President  evidently  wishes  to  act  in  the 

irit  of  our  system,  which  has  allowed  States  to 

settle  the  question  of  suffrage.     It  is  perfectly 

the  Constitution  of  the  United  States 

e  people  of  the  various  States  to  de- 

us  that  the  President  hardly  remembers  that  he 
now  deciding  the  vital  point,  namely,  who 
to  be  considered  the  people  of  the  State? 
He  expressly  excepts  some  who  are  so  consider- 
ed by  the  late  State  Constitution.     He  has  the 
.me  right  to  include  others.     And  he  would 
irtainly  not  have  violated  the  spirit  of  the  Na- 
)nal  or  the  late  State  Constitution,  if  he  had 
membered  that  the  whole  number  of  freemen 
as  the  true  basis  of  representation,  and  had 
therefore  ordered  an  enrollment  of  all  the  adult 
male  population  as  the  constitutional  "  people"

SHALL  WE  PAY  OFF  THE 
NATIONAL  DEBT? 

A  good  many  people  have  been  reminded  dur- 
ing the  past  week  of  Hogarth's  penniless  spend- 
thrift dragged  to  jail  with  "  A  Plan  for  paying 
off  the  National  Debt"  sticking  out  of  his  pocket. 
For  it  has  not  only  been  gravely  proposed  by 
some  of  our  journals  that  our  rich  men  club  to- 
gether to  the  number  of  1 5o,ooo  or  thereabouts, 
and  contribute  S20,ooo  each  to  extinguish  our 
national  debt,  but  a  score  or  more  of  the  rich  men 
aforesaid  have  actually  promised  in  writing  to 
perform  their  share  of  the  ui 
only  that  the  other  i49,9,5°  or  there 
.'heirs  likewise.  A  couple  of  million 
have   already  been    secured,   leaving 

That  this  amount  will  be  still  further  reduced  is 
clear ;  for  a  subscription  obtains  a  first-rate  no- 
tice in  the  newspapers — no  slight  advantage, 
now  that  trade  is  reviving— and  involves  no 
appreciable  pecuniary  risk.  It  would  not  be 
surprising  if,  by    active    canvassing,  as  much 


ntal  principles,  that  the  success  of  the  scheme 
ssumed  to  be  beyond  question.      When  it 


t  be  remembered, 


retrenched  expenditure,  increased  revenue,  and 
consequently  gradual  reduction  and  at  last  com- 
parative extinction  of  indebtedness.  For  the 
third  time  war  has  bequeathed  us  a  debt— this 
time  much  vaster  than  any  previously  incurred 
or  dreamed  of.  The  question  arises,  shall  we 
follow  American  precedent,  and  go  to  work  to 
pay  off  this  debt  as  we  paid  off  the  debts  of  the 
Bevolution  and  of  i8i2-*i4;  or  shall  we  follow 
the  European  precedent,  and  content  ourselves 
with  paying  the  interest  regularly,  leaving  the 
principal  practically  irredeemable  ?

If  the  system  lasts  so  long  we  may  rely  on  the

for  the  next  twenty  years.  It  may  be  improved 
too.  But  that  a  revenue  law  will  be  passed 
which  shall  not  be  unfairly  oppressive  on  this 
or  that  class,  and  shall  at  the  same  time  be  pro-

existing  among  a  people  spread  from  the  Rio 
Grande  to  the  great  Lakes,  and  from  the  Pacific 
to  the  Atlantic,  and  who  possesses  the  least 
knowledge  of  the  past  administration  of  the  cus- 
tom-house and  post-office  system  in  this  coun- 
try. There  will  be  constant  efforts  made  by 
one  section  or  one  industry  to  shift  its  proper 
share  of  the  common  burden  upon  other  shoul- 
ders, and  Congressional  combinations  will  fre- 
quently secure  success  to  such  efforts.  An  army 
of  tax-gatherers  will  swarm  through  the  coun- 
try, like  Lee's  disbanded  veterans,  plundering 
friend  and  foe  alike.     The  sums  extorted  from 

ceived  by  Govern 
est  men  will  find  it  hard  work  to 
es  and  earn  a  living.  Rogues  will  laugh  at  as- 
sessors. The  resources  and  vitality  of  the  coun- 
try are  so  great  that  it  is  beyond  the  power  of 
legislation,  however  bad,  to  stop  the  national 
progress  altogether.  But  it  will  unquestiona- 
bly be  retarded,  and  this  will  be 


the  problem— how  to  avoid  the  necessity  of  ta:

disfranchising  ignorant  white  men.  We  are,

not  all  qualified  to  vote,"  remarks  the  Tribune. 
And  how  many  of  the  whites  are  qualified  by 
the  same  standard  ?  The  Tribune  suggests  that 
the  blacks  be  told  "to  qualify  themselves  by  in-

and  then  they  shall  come  to  the  ballot-box. 

What  are  intelligence  and  thrift?  The  fine

"the  gentlemen  of  the  South,  the  intelligent

Buch  ignorance  and  degradation."  Governor 
Hammond,  of  South  Carolina,  describes  the  same 
class  in  the  same  way,  and  they  were  half  of

ulation." Mr.  Charles  T.  James,  of  Ehodo  Isl- 
and, a  cotton  manufacturer,  who  had  carefully 
studied  the  condition  of  the  Southern  States  as 
adapted  to  manufactures,  says :  "  Boys  and  girls 
by  thousands,  destitute  both  of  employment  and 
the  means  of  education,  grow  up  to  ignorance 
and  poverty,  and,  too  many  of  them,  to  vice 
and  crime."     It  appears  also,  in  illustration  of 

persons  over  twenty  years  of  age  about  one  in 
four  hundred  is  unable  to  read  and  write  iu 
New  England,  one  in  one  hundred  in  New 
York,  and  about  one  in  eight  in  North  Caro- 
lina. 

Certainly  if  ignorance  is  to  be  a  political  dis- 
ability, here  are  candidates  who  are  not  quali- 
fied. Yet  we  wait  to  hear  from  the  opponents 
of  suffrage  for  the  blacks  that  these  whites  shall 
also  be  disfranchised.  Are  we  told  that  the  ig- 
norant whites  are  made  voters  by  the  State  Con- 
stitutions ?  What  then  ?  It  is  for  the  United 
States  in  this  emergency  to  decide  whether  it 
will  bo  satisfied  with  the  requirements  of  these 
Constitutions.  Why  are  we  all  debating  the 
iuhject  but  because  there  is  a  question  ?  If  there 
be  a  question,  what  is  it  but  who  shall  vote  in 
the  reorganization  of  the  States? 

Is  it  said  that  if  ignorance  in  voters  be  a  bad 
thing,  to  double  the  number  of  ignorant  voters 
will  not  purify  the  election  ?  But  why,  then, 
have  any  ignorant  voters?  Or  if  you  will  have 
them,  why  leave  half  or  more  of  their  fellow- 
citizens  helpless  in  their  hands?  It  is  surely 
better  to  enfranchise  the  whole  rather  than  a 
part  of  an  ignorant  population.  If  there  must 
be  an  oligarchy,  let  it,  at  least,  be  composed  of 
the  intelligent.  Moreover,  in  the  case  of  the 
Southern  States,  the  surest  way  to  extirpate  the 
ignorance  is  to  enfranchise  all  the  people.  The 
whites  have  had  the  political  power  from  the  be- 
ginning. What  have  they  done  to  diminish  the 
ignorance  of  the  blacks?  Continue  the  sole 
power  in  their  hands,  and  what  will  they  do  to 
diminish  it?  Enfranchise  Robert  Smalls, 
and,  if  he  can  not  read,  he  will  take  care  to  edu- 
cate his  children.  Let  Robert  Toombs  make 
the  law  for  Robert  Smalls,  and  what  chance 
of  education  have  his  children  ? 

If  education,  proved  by  some  test  of  reading 
and  writing,  is  to  bo  the  condition  of  suffrage  in 
reorganizing  the  States,  let  the  test  be  impartially 
applied.  Let  the  Government  be  just.  Let  us, 
above  all,  be  spared  the  tingling  shame  of  seeing 
our  country,  at  this  period  in  her  history,  delib- 
erately denying  rights  because  of  color. 


A  WARNING  FROM  TENNESSEE 


The  consequences  might  have  been  foreseen. 
The  House  of  Representatives  of  the  State  has 
lately  passed  a  series  of  "  black  laws,"  which 
constantly  allude  to  the  colored  citizens  as 
"  free"  persons  of  color,  as  if  slavery  still  existed 
in  the  State.  The  whole  series  shows  indeed 
that  the  spirit  of  slavery  does  exist.  No  con- 
tract between  a  white  and  black  citizen  is  to  be 
binding  unless  witnessed  by  a  white  person.      In 

against  each  other  only.  On  failure  to  pay  jail 
fees  after  imprisonment  colored  citizens  may  be 
hired  out  to  the  highest  bidder.  The  children 
of  colored  citizens,  whether  orphans  or  not,  may 
be  bound  out  to  white  persons  at  the  option  of 

This  is  that  "unfriendly  legislation"  which 

(..■r-|M.-i!l;!.,.i    ■■■.     l!.:V:ii!!:       !l-      l.!n-      (i  ,>r.)  ,],.-     ,,:UI     >1..|     .J.'j 

of  this  country.  While  such  laws  are  passed 
and  valid,  Tennessee  can  not  be  a  truly  repub- 
lican State.  She  tramples  upon  democratic 
principles:  and  a  population  educated  in  the 
midst  of  a  large  class  disfranchised  in  obedience 
to  the  most  hateful  prejudice,  grows  up  haughty, 

Now  what  the  House  of  Representatives  in 
Tennessee  has  done  every  State  in  which  slav- 
ery has  been  abolished  by  the  war  will  do,  if 
permitted,  and  four  millions  of  faithful,  honest 
people,  just  as  free  as  Governor  Brownlow  or 
Mr.  Aiken,  and  equally  entitled  with  them  to 
a  voice  in  the  Government,  will  be  reduced  to  a 
condition  of  serfdom. 

But,  says  some  objector,  if  the  people  of  the 
States  are  opposed  to  enfranchising  them,  is  it 
good  policy  to  do  it  ?  Let  ub  see.  Who  are 
the  people  of  the  States?  Who  are  "  the  peo- 
ple" of  South  Carolina?  Are  they  the  numer- 
ical minority  of  the  population  who  are  white 
rebels,  or  are  they  the  numerical  majority  who 
are  colored  citizenB  of  unswerving  loyalty  ?  It 
it  curious  to  see  how  the  dominance  of  slavery 
in  this  country  has  destroyed  our  perceptions  of 
the  simplest  facts.  That  the  slaves  were  men 
even  the  rebels  conceded  when  they  proposed  to 


arm  them ;  -that  they  were  c 
General  Bates  very  clearly  s 


lished  by  President  Lincoln's  proclamation, 

pears  from  the  census  of  1860.  Yet  the  New 
York  Times  lately  uses  these  remarkable  words, 
the  italics  being  its  own  :  "What  the  President 
doubtless  aims  at  is  to  see  the  people  of  the  South 
as  distinct  from  the  disloyal  political  managers 

recognize  the  new  relations  in  which  they 

M;uul  to  the  negm  population." 

The  negro  population,  then,  are  not  even 
"people I"  In  such  a  remark,  springing,  of 
course,  from  no  unfair  hostility  to  its  colored 
fellow-citizens,  the  Times  unthinkingly  justifies 
the  old  lie  of  slavery  that  this  Government  was 
made  by  white  men  for  white  men,  and,  there- 
fore, that  white  men  only  are,  politically  speak- 
ing, the  people.  The  truth  is  that  the  word 
"people"  was  not  qualified  by  color. 

In  its  very  remarkable  article  the  Times  fur- 
ther says:  "When  that  work  [of  the  people 
recognizing  their  new  relations  to  the  negroes] 
is  once  set  about,  as  it  appears  to  be  in  Arkan- 
sas and  North  Carolina,  in  a  loyal  spirit,  the 
question  of  negro  suffrage  will  find  a  natural 


Holden, 

'  loyal  spirit"  in  North  Carolina,  who  speaks 
f  the  right  and  duty  of  "  the  governing  race" 


of  North  Carolina,  shall  reside  in  the  State! 

Now  as  we  believe  that  the  late  slaves  in 
South  Carolina,  some  of  whom  have  subscribed 

counted  among  the  people  of  South  Carolina  a3 
Governor  Megrath,  or  Mr.  Aiken,  or  Mayor 
Macbeth,  or  Chestnut,  or  Orr,  or  Rhett,  or 
any  other  white  traitor  or  loyal  citizen,  we  do 
they  should 


such.     And  l 
people  of  £ 


ply  only  that  we  do  not  believe  it.  And  in 
any  State  of  which  we  might  suppose  such  a 
statement  to  be  true,  we  should  say  that  experi- 
ence had  proved  the  indulgence  of  that  preju- 
dice of  one  class  of  citizens  against  another  to 
be  profoundly  perilous  to  the  public  welfare. 
There  is  n.  love  lost  between  Protestants  and 
Catholics.  L.it  what  if  we  should  assume  the 
Protestant  citizens  in  any  State  to  be  "the  peo- 
ple" in  distinction  to  the  "  Catholic  popula- 
tion?" Still  more,  what  if  we  should  propose 
that  the  "Protestant  people"  should  determine 
upon  what  conditions  the  "Catholic  population" 
should  vote,  and  whether  they  should  bo  allow- 
ed to  reside  in  the  State  1 

As  Americans  and  honest  men,  let  us  try  to 
remember  that  governments  justly  exist  by  the 
consent  of  the  governed— that  representation 
goes  with  taxation— and  that  Congress  is  con- 
stitutionally bound  to  secure  a  republican  form 
every  State.

in  a  volume  on  "  the  Apocalypse,"  by  Rev.  F.  D. 
Maurice,  of  London,  who  has  boon  a  faithful  friend 
of  this  country  during  the  long  struggle.  The  work 
was  published  in  1860,  scarcely  a  year  before  the 
attack  upoii  Fort  Sumter.  The  passage  is  in  sin- 
gular harmony  with  parts  of  Mr.  Beecher's  oration 
at  the  restoration  of  the  flag  upon  the  fort,  and  with

grams.  Within  the  last  few  days  we  have  been 
informed  of  the  assassination  of  Kirijt  Smith, 
of  the  revolt  of  the  colored  troops  at  Memphis, 
and  of  the  chaining  of  Jefferson  Davis  in  his 
cell.  General  Washburne  promptly  denied  the 
story  from  Memphis;  General  CANBYhas  since 
telegraphed  the  surrender  of  Kirby  Smith  with- 
out mentioning  his  demise ;  and  the  story  of  the 
chains  upon  Davis  comes  from  Philadelphia. 

The  remedy  for  any  ill  results  of  such  reports 
must  be  found  in  the  public  common  sense. 
The  friends  of  the  late  rebellion  will  do  all  that 
is  possible  to  discredit  the  Government  and  feed 
foreign  jealousy,  as  well  as  to  insult  and  defame 
colored  citizens.  But  long  experience  ought  to 
make  us  very  wary.  Our  Philadelphia  brethren 
of  the  press  are  so  good-natured  that  they  can  not 
bear  to  refuse  the  hospitality  of  their  columns  to 
every  vagabond  rumor,  and  they  are  probably 
not  surprised  that  "Philadelphia  news"  is  an 
article  well  known  in  the  market. 

So  with  the  special  dispatches  from  Wash- 
ington. The  most  devoted  hunter  of  news  must 
sometimes  return  with  nothing  but  the  vaguest 
gossip,  and  must  make  his  fog  pass  for  food  if 
he  can.     The  intentions  of  the  Government  are

We  all  know  in  advance  that  we  shall  see  no-

and  it  is  impossible  not  to  perceive  that  the  spe- 
cial news  is  very  much  what  the  opinions  or  pol- 
icy of  the  special  papers  that  publish  it  special- 
ly require. 

Bearing  such  facts  in  mind,  a  man  can  read 
his  daily  newspaper  with  much  more  peace  of 
mind  than  if  he  abandoned  himself  to  implicit 
belief  of  every  thing  he  finds  in  it.     The  news

"DEATH  AND  VICTORY." 

The  first  day  of  June  was  observed  as  a  day 
of  humiliation  and  prayer,  in  memory  of  the  mar- 
tyred President.  In  the  midst  of  triumph  Death 
reigns.  In  the  hour  of  jubilee  our  hearts  bow  be- 
fore the  remembrance  that  the  death  of  the  young 
and  the  old,  the  good  and  the  true,  has  secured  the 
victory.  This  is  evidently  the  thought  which  Mr.

It  was  fitting  therefore  that  when  the  work  had

It  was  no  ordinary  pageant  that  turned  all  the 
people's  eves  and  so  many  of  their  steps  toward 
Washington  on  the  23d  and  2-lth  of  May.  It  was 
not  the  fact  that  in  all  probability  the  privilege 
would  never  recur  of  seeing  two  hundred  thousand 
foldiers  passing  in  review.  It  was  no  mere  idle 
curiosity,  but  a  deep,  glorious,  solemn  sentiment. 
Tins  sentiment  was  one  of  pride  mingled  with  in- 
finite pathoB— pride  in  the  youthful  strength  of  a 
republic  tried  and  found  steadfast— pathos  from  the 
remembrance  of  countless  heroes  who  have  received 
their  crowns  not  from  mortal  hands  nor  upon  mor- 
tal brows,  who  died  many  of  them  while  the  strife 

Only  the  soldier  can  appreciate  the  full  meaning 
of  this  grand  march  through  Washington.  He  has 
been  the  actor  all  along  while  we  have  been  but  spec- 
tators, even  as  here.  Some  of  these  soldiers  have

According  to  Lieutenant-General  Chant's  order 
of  march,  the  army  of  the  Potomac,  under  General 
Meade,  would  be  reviewed  on  the  23d,  and  the 
armies  of  Tennessee  and  Georgia,  under  General 
Sherman,  on  the  2-lth.  Each  day  the  head  of 
the  column  rested  at  the  *oot  of  Capitol  Hill,  be- 
ginning its  march  from  that  pc'nt  at  9  o'clock  a.m.,

The  stand  from  which  the  armies  were  reviewed 
was  situated  in  front  of  the  White  House.  Here, 
at  an  early  hour,  the  President  and  Lieu  tenant- 
General,  accompanied  by  General  Meade,  took 
their  places,  being  afterward  joined  by  General 
Parke,  in  command  of  the  Ninth  Corps.  General

The  principal  stand,  of  which  we  give  an  illus-

and  was  beautifully  decorated;  its  base  and  capi-

seated  Assistant  Secretaries  of  the  Treasury  Har-

Secretary  of  Interior  Harlan,  Paymaster-General 
Biuce,  Assistant  Postmasters-General  Randall 
and  M'Clellan,  and  Mayor  Wallach.  The  rest 
of  this  stand,  which  was  capable  of  accommodating 
five  hundred  persons,  was  filled  up  with  the  diplo-

The  second  day  of  the  review  equaled  the  first  in

there  was  a  scarcely  perceptible  quiver  in  the

French  accent  was  perfect;  he  had  made  one 
snee„.-rtll  speech  in  ihc  Il-use,  and  he  was  un- 
married. With  all  these  qualifications,  and  his 
five  feet  eleven  inches  to  boot,  it  is  not  surpris- 
ing that  Lord  CaBtletowers,  despite  his  very 
limited  means,  should  have  found  himself,  dur- 


eptibility  which  flesh  (especially  flesh  under 
hirty  years  of  age)  is  heir  to.  On  the  con- 
rnry,  he  had  been  smitten,  as  the  phrase  goes, 
wice  or  thrice;  but  on  each  of  these  occasions 
lis  destiny,  and,  perhaps,  his  lady  mother,  had 
iiterpo-.d  to  save  him. 
The  young  Earl  adored  his  mother.  She  was

manly tenderness  of  that  poor  royal  face  were  all

Lady  Castletowers  had  not  loved  her  husband  ; 
but  she  loved  her  son  as  much  as  it  was  in  her 
nature  to  love  any  thing.  The  husband  had 
squandered  her  dower;  insulted  Iter  by  opijn

would  have  been  far  from  grateful  to  any  officious 
friend  who  had  presented  her  with  a  verbatim 
report  of  certain  of  his  most  enthusiastic  speeches. 
Those  speeches  were  delivered  at  meetings  held 
in  ohscure  lecture-halls  and  institutes  in  unaris- 
tocratic  parts  of  London,  and  were  remarkably 
good  speeches  of  their  kind— vigg*msly  thought, 
and  often  felicitously  expressed;  but  their  elo-

to  gratify  the  Countess  of  Castletowers.

was  keenly  susceptible  to  those  influences  which 
noser  the  traveled  amateur  of  hooks  and  art.  He 
had  loitered,  sketched,  and  dreamed  away  more 
than  one  winter  among  the  palaces  of  Florence 
and  Rome.  He  had  read  Petrarch,  and  Tasso, 
and  the  most  amusing  parts  of  Dante.  He  had 
been  in  love,  though  never,  perhaps,  very  deeply, 
with  scores  of  dark-eyed  Giuliettas  and  Biancas. 
He  had  written  canzonets  in  which  amorc  rhymed 

them  by  moonlight  under  picturesque  balconies, 
over  and  over  again,  in  many  a  stately  old  Jtnlkin 
city.  Above  all,  he  had  known  Giulio  Colonna 
from  his  earliest  boyhood,  and  had  been,  as  it 

were,  inoculated  \

most  frequent  guests,  he  had  accepted  all  his

his  eloquence  long  before  he  was  of  an  age  to 
understand  its  force  and  purport,  and  had  be- 
come insensibly  educated  in  the  love  and  rever- 
ence of  those  things  which  were  to  Giulio  Co- 
lonna as  the  life  of  his  life.  It  was,  therefore,

who  knew  exactly  what  words  meant.  They 
knew  that  treason  is  in  its  nature  an  offense 
upon  a  great  scale.  When  they  contemplated 
the  suspension  of  the  privilege  of  the  writ  of  ha- 
beas corpus  in  case  of  rebellion  they  knew  trea-

shaken,  even  by  the  near  approach  of  civil  wai 
as  to  have  provoked  the  criticism  that  his  fait 

war  has  vindicated  his  faith.  He  believed  tht 
no  government  was  so  strong  and  persistent  t

moderation  ot  tnat  speecD  was  due  to  his  per- 
ception—clearer than  that  of  his  critics— of  the 
probable  scope  and  duration  of  a  civil  war. 
The  event  of  every  war  is  uncertain,  and,  firm 
as  his  faith  in  the  popular  system  and  the  sure 
victory  of  liberty  was,  he  evidently  feared  to 
take  a  terrible  risk  if  it  could  be  fairly  avoided. 
Moreover,  he  knew  that  neither  physically  nor 
morally  was  the  country  ready  for  the  war,  and 
that  delay  was  invaluable.  He  spoke,  too,  as 
a  representative  leader  and  a  part  of  the  new 
administration.    If  his  tone  were  mild  the  mod- 

the  plans  of  the  conspirators  would  be  so  far 

It  was  the  fashion  in  Congress  to  call  him  a 
doctrinaire,  a  theorist,  a  dreamer.  That  criti- 
cism is  disposed  of.  As  Secretary  of  State  he 
has  been  suspected  of  an  unwonted  conserva- 
tism. But  it  is  beyond  question  that  he  thought 
with  Mr.XiNCOLN  upon  all  grave  points  of  do- 
mestic policy.  Our  foreign  relations,  which 
arc  his  peculiar  care,  he  has  managed  with  con- 
summate skill.  The  task  of  a  Secretary  of 
State  was  never  more  difficult  and  delicate; 
lerformed.    Aft- 


;  a  time  of  curious  peril,  when  other  powers 
ould  have  gladly  interfered,  he  stayed  their 
ands  and  kept  the  peace  of  the  world.

an  irrepressible  conflict  between  liberty  and 
avery  in  the  same  system  of  government.

who  have  fought  bravely  for  the  Government 
should  be  disfranchised,  when  the  victory  is  won, 

against  it,  and  who  yield  because  they  are  con- 
quered, not  because  they  are  converted,  is  some- 
thing which  we  have  no  doubt  seems  as  mon- 
strous to  President  Johnson  as  to  any  other 
truly  loyal  citizen.  The  sole  question  in  his 
mind  undoubtedly  is  in  what  manner  they  shall 
be  enfranchised.  We  therefore  regard  his  proc- 
lamation for  reorganization  in  North  Carolina 
as  tentative.  It  invites  an  expression  of  public 
opinion.  The"  President  does  not  assume  to 
settle  the  question,  for  he  knows  that  it  must 
finally  be  decided  by  Congress,  which  is  judge 
7  its  own  members.  And 
mprobable,  that  by  some  positive  ac- 
tion like  the  proclamation  he  wisbtd  to  concen- 
trate public  attention  upon  the  subject. 

The  objection  to  the  enfranchisement  of  all 
the  freemen  of  the  State  for  the  primary  elec- 
tion by  the  authority  of  the  United  States,  is 
that  suffrage  is  a  matter  left  by  the  Constitu- 
tion to  be  regulated  by  the  States.  Who,  then, 
compose  to-day  the  State  of  North  Carolina? 
Who  have  the  right  to  exercise  political  author- 
ity there?  Who  are  "the  people"  of  North 
Carolina? 

By  the  arrest  of  Vance,  duly  elected  Govern- 
or by  the  late  laws  of  North  Carolina,  its  late 
Constitution  has  heen  annulled  by  the  National 
Government.  The  State  can  therefore  I

HARLEQUIN  AND  PANTALOON. 

The  rebel  Richmond  Enquirer  by  an  easy 
transition  has  become  the  New  York  Daily  News. 
It  is  another  illustration  of  that  utterly  remorse- 
less suppression  of  free  speech  and  private  right 
of  which  the  News  has  so  long  feelingly  re-J 
minded  us.  For  two  years  we  have  been  daily 
informed  by  it  that  it  was  not  permitted  to  call 
the  President  a  tyrant,  the  Government  a  des- 
potism, and  the  war  wicked  and  shameful.  For 
two  years  it  has  told  us  every  morning  that  the 
minions  of  power  prevented  it  from  saying  that 
Mr.  Davis  was  a  statesman  of  an  inconceivable 
perfection  of  Christianity,  and  General  Lee  a 
warrior  of  incomprehensible  genius.  It  has 
been  a  truly  pathetic  monument  of  the  enormi- 
ties which  the  novelist  Sala  and  the  poet  Mac- 
kay  described  in  the  reddest  ink  for  those  friends 
of  freedom  the  London  Times  and  Telegraph.

'State 


The  AVws  has  been  also  m^parmg  in  its  <ic- 
mnciation  of  the  Limoln  Despotism,  to  which 
'resident  Johnson  has  succeeded.  The  Laws 
.nd  the  Constitution  have  been  ruthlessly  de- 
led, according  to  the  Dooly  News,  and  we  are 
II  groaning  under  a  helpless  tyranny;  nor  will 
here  he  anv  true  pence  and  prosperity  until  the 
American  people  are  again  whipped  into  sub- 
nission  by  an  oligarchy  of  Southern  slave  driv- 
rs.  Let  us  then  attend  to  the  instructions  of 
he  Daily  AV«w,  at  that  time  the  Richmond  En- 
vircr,  on  the  25th  of  February  of  this  year.  It

jponsibility  to  the  Executive, 
which  will  be  transmitted  through  all  time  in 
the  miserable  slavery  of  these  people  _and  their 
descendants." 

These  are  the  present  doctrines  of  the  rebel 
Richmond  Enquirer,  now  the  New  York  Daily 
News,  upon  State  sovereignty  and  the  law  of 
Public  Safety.  We  trust  they  are  as  agreeable 
to  all  its  patrons  as  they  are  to  loyal  citizens 
of  the  United  States,  whose  brave  brethren,  for 
maintaining  those  principles,  have  been  slaugh- 
tered in  the  field  and  murdered  in  the  prison  for 
four  years  by  men  stimulated  to  fury  by  the 
Richmond  Enquirer,  and  courted  and  defended 
by  the  New  York  Daily  Neios. 

THE  DAY  OF  RECKONING. 
After  the  dance  the  piper  must  he  paid. 
For  four  years  the  country  has  been  growing 
apparently  rich  on  large  issues  of  paper-money. 
According  to  the  report  of  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury,  865o,iGo,ooo  of  legal-tender  —•— 
have  been  issued,  and  are  sti" 
to  which  must  he  added  $i3o,ooo,ooo  of  Na- 
tional Bank  currency,  and  $24, 600,000  of  frac- 
tional currency,  makiug  over  $813,760,000  of 
what  is  called  money,  now  in  the  hands  of  the 
people,  besides  old  State  Bank  issues.  Over 
and  above  this  so-cnlled  money,  the  people  hold 
fully  $1,700,000,000  of  bonds,  Treasury  notes, 
certificates  of  indebtedness,  and  other  evidences 
of  public  debt ;  all  of  which,  for  the  time  being, 
are  representatives  of  value,  and  serve  their 
owners  in  as  good  stead  as  so  much  bullion, 

The  effect  of  this  vast  addition  to  the  appar- 
ent wealth  of  the  people,  in  the  shape  of  paper- 
money  and  paper  evidences  of  debt,  has  been  to 
increase  to  an  astonishing  extent  the  number  of 
individual  fortunes,  and  to  stimulate  internal 
tratlic  in  a  like  degree.  Of  the  former  we  see 
evidence  in  the  fact  that  Government  has  al-

ment at  an  early  day  to  make  good  its  promises 
to  pay,  and  to  render  its  dollar  worth  one  hun- 
dred cents  in  coin.  That  such  an  operation,  or 
even  an  effort  to  resume  would  involve  much 
commercial  distress,  and  tend  to  reduce  the 
revenue  from  taxes  is  clear  enough ;  and  Sec-

on  this  account.  But  after  all  the  tug  of  war

so  copious,  and  the  soil  so  fertile,  that  we  shall 
soon  recover  from  any  revulsion,  however  se- 

our  great  internal  trade  must  fall  off;  that  a 
long  period  of  painful  distress  must  attend  the 
readjustment  of  prices  consequent  upon  the  re-

The  Telegraph  has  deceived  us  so  often  that 
e  decline  to  believe  its  report  of  a  late  speech 
f  Mr.  Wendell  Phillips,  which  makes  him 
say  that  he  advises  the  American  people  to 
"late  their  honest  debts.  That  Wendell 
Phillips  counsels  rascality  is  impossible.  He 
may  have  said  that  unless  all  .the  loyal  freemen

Dr.  Bi.acksuhn,  according  to  Conover's  tcsti-

girls  grew  up  till  and  hi 
been  wrong  of  me  not  to  let  them  have  a  chance  to 
marry  if  they  liked.  We  saw  a  good  deal  of  com- 
pany ;  and  in  those  days  you  didn't  have  your  guests 
shown  into  a  cold  parlor,  and  in  half  an  hour  go 
down  and  glower  at  them  across  the  room,  and  let 
them  go  without  bite  or  sup.  If 'twas  but  a  min- 
ute they  staid  you  offered  wine  and  cake,  and  gen- 
erally company  came  for  a  ilay,  or  if  it  was  for  a 
dance  in  the  evening,  you  were  r«*re  some  would 
stay  all  night  I  was  busy  and  happy ;  for  my 
husband  never  altered,  and  said  his  hiss  was  fairer 
than  the  youngest  of  them  all,  and  my  hoy  was  good 
and  handsome.  Only  I  pined  a  little  for  the  coun- 
try homo,  and  to  he  nearer  to  Mercy  and  to  mother, 
who  was  growing  very  old. 

Well,  in  time  the  girls  were  courted,  and,  odd

and  why  should  we  say  "no." 

They  were  married.     Each  had  her  brick  house 
full  of  fine  furniture,  and  silks  to  wear,  and  settled 

to  coax  the  Doctor  to  go  home  again.     If  he'd  list-

is  now,  when  every  child  is  vaccinated.  There  was 
no  stop  to  it,  and  it  passed  over  faces  as  the  plow 
pas-cs  over  the  ground. 

My  husband  wanted  me  to  leave  him,  but  I  sent 
our  boy  to  his  grandmother's  and  staid  myself.  Eh, 
none  can  aay  that  I  didn't  do  my  duty  !  And  pray- 
ing God  to  spare  us  both,  I  went  with  him  and 
helped  him  when  the  other  doctors  fled  the  place. 
There  was  only  one  who  aided  us.  That  was  a  poor 
cripple  who  had  been  in  the  Blume  factory  as  book- 
keeper ever  since  we  came  to  the  place.  I  never 
saw  a  being  so  bent  as  he  was,  so  crushed  anr| 
maimed  and  yet  able  to  walk  about.  His  hair  was 
white  as  snow,  and  his  face  like  that  of  a  very  old

cabin  with  loathsome,  dying  creatures  about  us. 
Once,  when  the  very  sexton  fled  with  fear,  and  the 
clergyman  was  dying  himself  in  his  parsonage,  we 
buried  a  mother's  babe  for  her,  and  he  carved  a 
name  on  a  wooden  crosB  to  mark  the  place.  Through 
scenes  like  those  of  the  old  plague  times  we  passed, 
comforting  and  aiding  each  other,  the  Doctor,  that 
poor  deformed,  and  I.  Half  the  factories  were

Our  duty  was  done.  It  was  a  glad  thing  to  know

Do  not  Waste  your  Money  buying  any  of  the 
numerous  worthless  articles  called  Gold  Pens, 
which  have  flooded  the  market  for  the  last  few 
years,  when  at  lower  prices  vou  can  get  pens  which 
are  acknowledged  to  l.e  the  Uest  ln  the  World. 

Avoid  the  shameless  Upstarts,  whose  lack  of 
brains  compels  them  to  attempt  Imitation,  even  to 
the  adrcrtiicmtvt.  If  you  want  the  full  value  of 
vour  money,  call  on  A.  Morton,  25  Maiden  Lane,

THE  PRESENT  PERIL. 

rtook  seventy-five  years  to  teach  this  coun- 
try that  tire  will  burn.  Against  the  in- 
stincts of  the  human  heart,  against  the  dictates 
of  common -sense,  against  reason  and  all  ex- 
perience we  insisted  upon  yielding  every  thing 
to  Slavery  in  a  free  Government,  until  Slavery 
took  the  Government  by  the  throat,  and  only  by 


,  like

eignty  is  one  and  can  not  be  divided,  that  a  na- 
tion can  be  injured  in  no  part  without  suffering 
everywhere,  that  the  law  of  life  in  communities 
is  like  tlmt  in  individuals,  we  allowed  the  mis- 
chievous Kentucky  and  Virginia  resolutions  to 

of  seeing  that  where  such  resolutions  could  be 
adopted   and  defended   there  was  the   utmost 

ncr-c^ify  i'f  a  solemn  national 


settling  Mi'"*  question 
insolent;  servility  made  it.  strong;  until  the 
authority  of  the  State  struck  at  the  national  su- 
premacy, and  only^hy  flooding  every  hearth- 
stone with  blood,  and  loading  our  children  with 
debt,  was  the  national  authority  restored. 

Have  we  yet  learned  that  thf  spirit  of  Slav- 
ery, whether  it  actually  buys  and  sells  human 
beings  like  cattle,  or  despises  and  outrages  them 
as  pariahs,  is  the  spirit  of  eternal  war  ;  and  that 
the  doctrine  of  State  Sovereignty,  whether  it 
Naughtily  calls  a  king's  patent,  or  a  civil  engi- 
neer's division  of  land,  a  nation,  or  asserts  the 
.cserved  rights  of  States,  means,  substantially, 
treason?  It  would  be  ludicrous,  if  it  were  not 
too  sad,  to  see  those  who  are  still  stunned  by 
the  war  doubting  whether  the  men  who  excit- 
ed and  conducted  it  can  possibly  be  capable  of 

pens  of  Millen  and  Andersonville ;  the  unim- 
aginable srdK'ring  indicted  upon  innocent  men  ; 
there  are  the  cold-blooded  slaughters  of  Fort  Pil- 
low and  Lawrence;  the  hangings  and  tortures 
of  Union  men  in  East  Tennessee,  in  Texas,  in 
all  the  South  and  Southwest ;  there  are  the  plots

Secretary  of  State  lying  ill  in  his  bed — and  some 
good  soul  asks,  "  Do  you  really  think  they  would 
be  guilty  of  murder?  They  may  be  politically 
mistaken,  but  do  you  seriously  think  they  would 
do  any  thing  unfair?" 

Could  we  seriously  think  otherwise?  How 
is  it  natural  to  suppose  that  those  who  breed 
child:*::?  fur  sale,  whose  laws  and  social  and  in- 


poison,  by  assassination,  by  massacre?  Why 
should  not  savages  be  savage?  Jefferson 
Davis  was  called  "a  high-toned  Southern  gen- 
tleman." Doubtless  he  was  as  much  of  a  gen- 
tleman and  as  high-toned  as  any  man  bred  in 
such  a  condition  of  things  couIU  be.  But  what 
his  gentlemanhood  and  high  tone  were  you  dis- 
cover when  yon  read  his  speeches,  in  which 
Yankees  are  hyenas,  and  Grant  and  Sherman 
are  spaniels  to  be  whipped.  There  were  lovely 
and  accomplished  women  in  the  Slave  States; 
but  when  they  spoke  of  slavery  their  bald  bar- 
barity dehumanized  them.  The  blood  chilled 
in  the  heart  to  hear  their  flippant  or  fiery  talk. 
They  were  like  the  smooth-skinned  wives  and 
daughters  of  ogres  in  fairy  tales. 

Is  it  unkind  to  recall  these  things?     Is  it  a 
poor  policy  of  conciliation  to  recur  to  the  old

Are  George  N.  Sanders  and  Jacob  Thomp- 
son and  Beverly  Tucker  and  Clement  C. 
Clay  any  the  less  criminal  foes  of  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States,  any  less  infidel  to  its 
fundamental  doctrines,  nny  less  dangerous  and 
dishonorable  men,  to  be  shunned  in  every  way, 
and  exposed  to  public  obloquy  and  constant  sus- 
picion, because  Horace  Greeley  calls  them 
"  distinguished  Americans  of  the  other  party  to

Do  they  confess  that  they  had  no  right  to  make 
war?  Do  they  believe  that  States  are  not  sov- 
ereign? Do  they  acknowledge  the  equality  of 
human  rights  ?  Do  they  bate  Yankees  any  less 
because  the  Yankees  have  whipped  them  ?  The 
ladies  of  the  rebel  States,  who  are  reduced  from 
the  luxury  based  upon  the  unpaid  toil  and  un- 
told wrongs  of  human  beings  to  gain  a  liveli- 
hood by  mechanical  labor  or  to  receive  Govern- 
ment rations— are  they  less  bitter  and  mad  than 
before?     The  beggared  men,  who  live  on  char- 


with 


"Federal"  Government —are  they  changed  at 
heart  ?  Mayor  Mayo,  of  Richmond,  whom  Gov- 
ernor-Pierfont  reinstates— is  he  any  safer  citi- 
zen of  the  United  States  than  when  he  was  in 
active  rebellion  three  months  ago  ?  The  North 
Carolina  planter  whom  General  Patrick,  the 
Provost-Marshal  at  Richmond,  told  that  he  must 
not  whip  his  slaves  at  present,  but  that  a  good 
time  was  coming — is  he  a  type  of  the  "  distin- 
guished Americans  of  the  other  party  to  our  civil 
war"  who  are  to  reorganize  the  late  slave  States? 
The  Alabama  delegation,  the  Mississippi  Gov- 
ernor, Boyce  from  South  Carolina.  Brown 
from  Georgia — are  these  the  "  eminent  Confed- 
erates" with  whom,  shuttingoureyes  and  minds,

leaders  than  Sanders  incapable  of  hoodwinking 
more  sagacious  men  than  Mr.  Greeley? 

This  country  needs  as  much  watchful  intelli- 
gence to  save  it  now  as  it  needed  skillful  mili- 
tary guidance  to  save  it  two  years  ago.  The 
rebellion  gives  „]-,  the  field,  it  does  no 
fight.  The  New  York  World  asked  t 
ago,  advising  the  rebels  to -submit,  what  can 
the  President  do,  what  term3  can  he  make  if 
you  only  throw  down  your  arms  and  return  to 
the  Union?  That  was  to  say  to  the  rebels,  as 
plainly  as  words  could  express  ft,  "Claim  your 
rights  asStates,  and  we  will  back  you."  George 
Sanders  makes  the  same  appeal  from  Canada, 
foolishly  speaking  above   his  breath  and  out  of 

Have  we  learned  that  fire  will  burn  ?  Do  we 
yet  understand  that  the  chief  duty  of  the  loyal 
people  of  the  United  States  is  to  suffer  the  late 
slave  States  to  be  reorganized  only  upon  such 
terms  as  those  people  prescribe?  Do  we  fully 
comprehend  that  the  important  point  is  not 
speedy  reorganization,  but  sure  reorganization? 
Do  we  see,  as  we  should,  that  it  is  better  Vir- 
ginia should  be  governed  as  a  territory  for  half 
a  century  rather  than  that  she  should  be  recog- 
nized as  a  State  by  the  spirit  of  State  Sovereign- 
ty and  caste  which  produced  the  rebellion  ?  Con- 
gre-s  must  decide  the  question.  Let  Congress, 
then,  distinctly  understand  public  opinion.  Let 
every  body  speak  out.  We  are  in  no  danger  of 
treating  any  body  too  severely.  This  country 
was  never  yet  too  severe  upon  any  citizens  but 
those  who  warned  it  of  the  danger  of  intrusting 
a  free  government  to  the  hands  of  those  who 
had  no  faith  in  its  principles.  "We  are  not  in 
danger  of  a  blood-thirsty  policy  but  of  our  old 


pbistication  in  which  the  true  character  and  re- 
lation of  men  and  things  at  this  juncture  will  be 
forgotten  and  the  country  plunged  into  new  per- 
ils. Wise  men  will  insist  at  every  hazard  that 
the  lessons  of  experience  shall  \  >.  heeded,  and 
that  the  peace  and  welfare  of  tht,  country  shall 
be  secured  by  placing  the  political  power  of  the 
reorganized  States  in  the  hands  of  those  only,

Sovereignty,  and  all  civil  distinction  based  upon 


THE  COTTON  QUESTION. 

Gold  is  up  again  above  i4o,  and  many  pre- 

which  means  a  further  depreciation  of  the  cur- 
rency, higher  prices  for  food,  fuel,  and  cloth- 
ing, and  renewed  financial  e 
i  are  still  made  in 
delude  the  public  into  the  belief  that  the  ad- 
vance in  gold  is  the  work  of  speculators :  that 
a  few  dozen  Jews  by  combining  together  have 

cent,  in  a  fortnight.  But  this  balderdash  de- 
ceives none  but  very  ignorant  people.  It  is 
now  pretty  generally  understood  that  specula- 
chips  in  a  tideway  can  control  the  ebb  and  flow 
of  the  sea;  that  the  premium  rises  and  falls  in 
obedience  to  immutable  laws  of  political  econ- 
omy. Gold  fell  from  280  to  i3o  because  the 
armies  of  the  United  States  won  victory  after 
victory,  and  at  last  crushed  the  rebellion  and 
r  public  credit.     It  has 


ports.  We  are  consuming  more  foreign  goods 
than  we  are  exporting  domestic  produce,  and 
to  supply  the  deficiency  we  have  been  compelled 
to  export,  for  the  past  month,  about  $2,000,000 
of  gold  a  week,  which  has  diminished  the  sup- 
ply in  market  and  increased  the  demand.  In 
the  darkest  days  of  the  war,  when  there  was 
ground  for  apprehension  that  our  last  golden 
dollar  would  be  drained  from  us  to  pay  for  tea, 
coffee,  and  foreign  luxuries,  far-seeing  Dutch- 
men unconsciously  carried  us  through  by  taking 
Five-Twenty  Bonds.  But  this  resource  is  no 
longer  available.  Bonds  are  coming  home — at 
the  rate  of  half  a  million  to  a  million  a  week— 
instead  of  going  out.  And  if  the  fall  imports 
prove  as  heavy  as  the  profitable  spring  trade 
ust  either  export  a  great  deal 


;dvance  still  further,  or  we  must  find 
else  to  export. 
What  shall  it  be?  The  prospect  is  fair  for 
a  good  harvest  in  England,  and  should  it  prove 
an  average,  we  can  not  expect  to  ship  food 
enough  to  affect  the  rate  of  exchange.  It  takes 
a  great  many  cargoes  of  wheat  and  corn  to  pay 
for  one  steamer-load  of  dry-goods  or  one  ship- 
load of  tea.  Since  the  suspension  of  specie 
payments  our  exports  of  grain  and  flour  have 


...,,. 


■   remembered   i 


export  of  $5o,ooo,ooo  of  wheat,  corn,  and  flour 
was  considered  enormous.  And  we  see  no  rea- 
son for  expectiDg  that  Europe  will  want  more 

It  was  confidently  expected,  when  the  war 
drew  to  a  close,  that  our  old  stand-by— cotton- 
would  loom  up  in  great  strength ;  that  we  should 
find  it  encumbering  our  wharves,  filling  our 
ships,  paying  our  foreign  debts,  and  drawing 
gold  from  Europe.  But  this  pleasant  hope- 
like  so  many,  alas!— has  proved  a  dream. 
Peace  has  been  a  fact  for  six  weeks,  and  we  are 
receiving  no  more  cotton  than  we  received  this 


1  <.\miei]et'acy 


time  last  year,  when  the  So 
seemed  full  of  life.  Yet  the  cotton  is  ther 
beyond  doubt.  After  some  time  spent  in 
careful  comparison  of  evidence,  and  sifting  < 


of  bales.  Texas  alone  must  contain  half  a  mill- 
ion, and  may  contain  a  million  bales.  In  many 
localities  the  cotton  is  anginned,  the  gin-hanse 
having  got  out  of  order  when  the  proprietors 
were  conscript  soldiers  of  Jeff  Davis.  In 
many  the  staple  can  not  be  moved  for  want  of 
bagging.  But  while  authorities  vary  in  their 
estimates  from  1,000,000  to  3, 000,000  bales, 
al!  agree  that  the  quantity  on  hand  at  the  South 
is  large— large  enough  to  turn  the  balance  of 
trade  between  the  United  States  and  Europe. 
Every  Southerner  who,  during  the  long  war, 
had  a  thought  for  himself  or  his  family,  planted 
some  cotton,  and  hid  it  when  picked,  as  some- 
thing to  build  upon  in  the  days  to  come.  Every 
cane-brake,  every  out-of-the-way  shed,  every 
dark  pine-grove,  every  swamp,  every  recess 
which  was  likely  to  escape  the  prying  eyes  of 
soldiers,  may  be  relied  upon  to  contain  cotton. 
If  the  quantity  thus  hidden  away,  added  to  thai; 
which  is  openly  displayed  in  stores  and  gin- 
000  bales, 


would    be   U'urtli,  at:  pre  —

than  enough  to  bring  exchange  down,  and  force 
gold  to  a  moderate  premium. 

The  causes  which  prevent  this  cotton  coming 
to  market  are  threefold : 


I.   Government  Restrictions, — At  the   outset, 
after  the  surrender  of  the  rebel  armies,  when 

wholesale  confiscation  of  cotton  ceased,  Govern- 


D  property  of  all  kinds  is  forfeited 
to  the  United  States  Government,  if  that  Gov- 
ernment choose  to  enforce  its  confiscation.  And 
it  is  also  clear  that  most  of  these  owners  of  cot- 
ton belong  to  a  class  which  is  expressly  ex- 
cluded from  the  benefit  of  President  Johnson's 
Proclamation  of  Amnesty.    In  their  case,  there-

3.  The  Want  of  Capital.— This  is  pro 
great  cause  of  the  non-arrival  of  cott 
ports.  It  has  always  taken  a  large  ai 
capital  to  move  cotton.  At  times  a 
immev-in:irket  in  New  York  has  been  :

the  money  required  for  this  purpose.

swept  them  all  away,  and  many  a  Southern 
planter,  with  cotton  enough  to  make  him  al-

the  result  would  be  an

adopted,  the  capital  required  for  moving  the 
cotton  would  be  supplied  by  the  Government. 
If  the  other  course  were  pursued,  capitalists 
would  advance  means  for  the  purpose.  Either 
policy  would  check  the  advance  of  gold;  a

THE  PLEA  FOR  DAVIS. 
Mr.  Gerrit  Smith  is  a  gentleman  who  de- 


'  iiis  liberal   ; 


;  and  large  fortune  t 


ways  the  friend  of  the  friendless,  and  no  nobler 
praise  could  be  given  to  any  man.  Mr.  Smith 
urges  clemency  toward  the  chief  rebel  leaders. 
Mr.  Smith  says  that  we  have  no  right  to  treat 
them  as  traitors.  He  urges  that  when  we  agreed 
to  wage  war  with  them  according  to  the  laws  of 
war,  we  conceded  thifp  they  were  not  traitors, 
but  belligerent  enemie^,  and  we  are  bonnd  to 
treat  them  accordingly.  \  A  rebellion,  he  argues, 
is  not  a  riot ;  and  he  quota  Vattel  to  the  point 
that  a  civil  war,  conducted  by  armies  in  the 
field,  dissolves  the  State,  aiU  places  the  contend- 
ing parties  in  the  position  d|f  contending  nations. 
Let  us  look  at  this  statement.

Surely  Mr.  Smith  does  not  think  that  the  lead- 
ers of  the  Whisky  Insurrection  might  have  been 
justly  punished  for  treason,  while  the  Govern- 
ment has  no  rightful  hold  of  Davis. 

In  quoting  Hallam  upon  the  execution  of 
Charles  ttte  First,  Mr.  Smith  seems  to  forget 
that  the  illustration  is  not  pertinent.  There 
was  no  law  precisely  defining  Charles's  con- 
duct as  a  capital  crime,  while  Davis's  offense  is 
carefully  and  explicitly  described  in  the  funda- 
mental law  and  the  penalty  unequivocally  de-

defamers  of  this  country,  and  the  most  unblush- 
ing advocate  of  Davis  before  his  failure.  It 
pleads  for  him  upon  the  ground  of  policy,  and 
that  is,  unquestionably,  the  only  ground  upon 
which  an  appeal  for  mercy  is  tenable. 

The  fate  of  Davis  individually,  as  of  any  sin- 
gle criminal,  is  of  very  little  importance;  but 
it  is  very  important  that  this  country  should 
decide  how  it  will  regard  treason  and  punish 
traitors.  Those  who  oppose  the  execution  of 
the  present  law  plead  that  Davis  "  simply  com- 
mitted treason."  True;  and  Booth  simply 
committed  murder.  The  law  awards  the  same 
penalty  to  both  offenses.     Were  there  mitigat-

clared  that  he  believed  the  killing  of  tyrants 
wqs  no  murder.  For  ourselves,  with  no  other 
desire  than  the  peace  and  honor  of  the  country, 
we  repeat,  that  if  this  treason  does  not  demand 
the  penalty  of  the  law  no  treason  can;  and 
therefore  if  Davis  should  be  spared  the  law 
should  be  changed.  Is  so  grave  a  law  as  that 
against  treason  intended  to  reach  contemptible 
enemies  only?  Is  a  traitor  to  be  exempted  the 
moment  he  becomes  truly  formidable  ?  If  not, 
let  the  law  he  changed  to  conform  to  the  public 
opinion,  that  death  should  not  be  inflicted  for 
political  offenses. 


OUR  DUTY  IN  REORGANIZATION. 

"Peace,"  said  Edmund  Burke,  "may  be 
made  as  unadvisedly  as  war.  Nothing  is  so 
rash  as  fear,  and  the  counsels  of  pusillanimity 
very  rarely  put  off,  while  they  are  always  sure 
to  aggravate,  the  evils  from  which  they  would 
fly."  What  this  country  needs  to  secure  peace 
is  the  firm  application  of  a  plain  principle.  The 
principle  of  State  rights,  like  that  of  county 
rights  and  town  rights,  is  a  good  one.  But  the 
principle  of  national  rights  is  the  paramount 
and  essential  principle  of  the  present  situation. 
AH  subordinate  rights  whatever  must  bend  to 
the  national  necessity  of  a  local  government  in 
every  State  based  upon  the  consent  of  the  whole 
body  of  loyal  freemen. 

The  national  authority  is  fully  competent  to 
secure  that  government,  There  is  no  reason 
whatever  why  the  nation  should  delegate  its 
authority  to  secure  such  State  governments  in 
the  South  to  a  part  of  the  loyal  freemen  red- 
man  of  North  Carolina  has  any  right  to  a  voice 
in  reorganizing  the  ^tate  which  every  other 
does  not  equally  possess.  There  is  no  more 
reason,  except  in  an  imaginary  view  of  policy, 
why  the  national  Government  should  authorize 
white  loyalists  alone  to  reorganize  the  State  gov- 
ernment of  North  Carolina  because  the  voters 
in  that  State  were  formerly  white  than  that  it 
should--authorize  the  colored  loyalists  alone  to 
reorganize  it  because  they  have  been  always 
faithful  to  the  country.  As  a  question  of  pol- 
icy merely,  it  is  clear  that  if  any  class  of  loyal- 
ists obieot  to  reorganize  the  State  upon  acknowl- 


edged democratic  republican  principles  that  is 
not  a  class  to  which  the  reorganization  can  be 
safely  intrusted.  It  is  better  policy  to  govern 
the  State  directly  by  the  national  authority  than 
to  relinquish  " 

of  the  New  York  Tunes  says,  in  a  late  letter 
from  North  Carolina:  "While  many  admit  that 
it  may  be  the  negro  will  be  qualified  to  exercise 
that  right  in  the  future,  every  one  thinks  that 
he  is  not  intelligent  enough  to  do  so  ^iow." 
"  Every  one"  means,  of  course,  the  white  popu- 
lation ;  the  class  who  were  formerly  among  the 
voters  of  the  State.  Yet  in  the  very  next  para- 
ignorance  of  the  poorer  classes  is  heart-rending, 
and  their  prejudices  are  strong  as  only  those  of 

ignorant  men  are Not  more  titan  ortc-acvenlh 

of  the  voters  can  read  or  write."  These  are  the 
people  who  think  the  negro  is  not  intelligent 
enough  to  vote ;  and  these  are  the  white  loyal- 
ists to  whom  the  apologists  and  friends  of  the 
rebellion  insist  that  the  right  of  voting  shall  be 
exclusively  given  because  the  colored  loyalists 
are  not  sufficiently  "intelligent!"  The  same 
correspondent  adds:  "They  exhibit  a  prejudice 
against  the  slave  that  readily  accounts  for  the 
ease  with  which  '  the  Southern  heart  was  fired' 
during  the  war."  And  it  is  to  these  persons 
that  it  is  propose-i  the  question  of  sunVnge  for 
the  colored  freemen  in  the  State  shall  be  re-

Such  a  policy  would  be  a  fraud  upon  the  people,

even  in  our  late  history.  There  have  been  va- 
rious hints  from  the  Copperhead  leaders  of  such 
a  policy.  And  if  the  political  power  of  the  reb- 
el States  be  intrusted  solely  to  the  white  race, 
there  is  no  doubt  that  a  combination  will  be  im- 
mediately formed  between  the  negro-haters  of 
the  South  and  the  North  which  would  not  hesi- 
tate to  propose  repudiation.  A  party  which  de- 
spises rights  will  not  hesitate  to  repudiate  debts. 
To  such  a  party  public  honor  is  incomprehensi- 
ble. Hitherto  the  slavery  interest  at  the  South 
made  the  support  of  slavery  the  price  of  the  al- 
"     party  so  long 


slavery  interest,  surviving  as 
party,  will  impose  other  conditions  at  its  will. 
Very  naturally  its  leaders  will  not  wish  to  be 
taxed  to  pay  for  their  own  subjugation  ;  and  if 
they  think  it  wiser  to  demand  general  repudia- 
tion rather  than  the  recognition  of  the  rebel 
debt,  they  will  do  it,  and  the  obsequious  leaders 
of  the  negro-hating  party  at  the  North  will  sub-

The  utterly  unAmerican  spirit  known  as  "  the 
South,"  the  spirit  which  scoffs  at  popular  gov- 
ernment and  the  rights  of  men,  is  beaten  in  the 
field,  and  is  even  now  adjusting  itself  to  assert 
its  old  supremacy  in  political  control.  It  will 
try  to  recover  by  intrigue  what  it  has  lost  by 
arms ;  and  the  people  of  this  country  are  fools 
if  they  cease  for  a  moment  to  watch  and  distrust 
it.  It  is  a  fire  which  blazes  out  now  here,  now 
there  ;  and  it  is  mortally  perilous  until  it  is  en- 
tirely and  every  where  extinguished.

Messrs.  Anthony  &  Co.,  the  photographers  in 
New  York,  have  issued  a  series  of  stereoscopic 
"War  Views,"  which  are  curiously  and  permanent-

Such  views  as  the  Railroad  Depot  at  Atlanta,  the

Prksidicnt  Johnson'*  policy  in  regard  to  tho

the  ground 

pie  of  North  Carolina  of  nil  civil  government,  and 

n:  the  United  States  Government  is  under  a  solemn 
constitutional  obligation  to  guarantee  to  every  State 
a  republican  form  of  government,  ho  therefore  ap- 
points a  Provisional  Governor  whose  duty  it  shall

The  person  chosen  by  the  President  as  Provi- 
sional Governor  of  North  Carolina  is  William  W. 
Holden,  previously  known  as  the  editor  of  the 
Jtukigh  Progress.  Most  important  is  the  office  to 
•which  Mr.  Holden  has  been  assigned.  It  is  beset 
■with  many  difficulties.  The  State  of  North  Caro- 
lina appears  to  be  rent  with  factions,  and  Mr.  Hol- 

His  course  must  be  firm  or  his  administration  will 
prove  a  failure.  It  is  evident,  however,  that  Pres- 
ident Johnson  has  confidence  in  Mr.  Holdkn's  abil- 
ity to  meet  the  emergencies  of  the  crisis. 

Like  the  President  himself,  Mr.  Holden  has  ris- 


Mr.  Holden's  past  record  is  one  which  ill  many 

important  respects  is  favorable.  We  sincerelv  hope 
that  he  will  win  for  himself  the  enviable  glory  of 
having  saved  his  State  from  political  traitors,  and 
of  having  secured  equal  justice  to  all  its  citizens

have  broken  down  his  understanding  at  any  mo-

Brandon. 

"No.  Our  shop  lies  too  far  east  for  him,  I

"Thank  you,  I  did  not  want  a  fancy  price,"

Apply  the  title  to  this  little  money-jobber  and  I

abominate  him !  I  wish  it  was  possible  to  black-

Saxon  was  writing;  Sir  Charles  Burgoyne  ex- 
tended at  full  length  on  a  sofa,  smoking  a  ciga- 
rette with  his  eyes  closed.    Both  visitors  were  ob- 

hers.     They  had  been  breakfasting  with  Saxon, 
and  the  table  was  yet  loaded  with  pate's,  coffee,

And  with  this  Mr.  Trefalden  shook  hands

standing  about  on  chairs,  or  leaning  against  the 
walls.  Some  were  painted  in  oils  and  some  in 
water  colors,  and  nearly  all  were  views  in  Switz- 
erland. There  were  piles  of  new  music  ;  stacks 
of  costly  books  in  rich  bindings;  boxes  of  cigars 
and  gloves;  a  bust  of  Shakspeare  in  marble; 
a  harmonium  ,  a  cabinet  of  Florentine  mosaic-

and  a  faded  bouquet  in  a  tumbler  occupied  a 
bracket,  from  which  a  French  pendule  had  been 
lgnoininionsly  displaced.  William  Trefalden  was 
an  observant  man,  and  drew  his  inferences  from 
these  trifles.  He  found  out  that  his  young  Ar- 
cadian was  learning  to  ride,  fence,  make  ac-

"I  had  hoped  that  you  would  spare  me  a  day

Castletowers,  as  they  shook  hands  at  parting. 
"  Your  cousin  has  promised  to  come  down,  and 
we  have  some  private  theatricals  coming  off;

on  the  river  of  the  same  name,  and  that  was  situ- 
ated just  outside,  little  more  than  a  mile  distant 

from,  tlio  romantic  and  beautiful  town  of  M , 

in  tin-!  south  of  Ireland. 

Our  household  at  the  lodge,  at  the  date  to  which 
I  refer,  consisted  of  the  house-maid,  Susan,  an  ex- 
cellent, good  young  woman,  who  was  held  in  great 
esteem  by  my  auut,  and  was  a  special  favorite  of 
mine;  the  cook,  Mrs.  G  Wynne,  a  ii  oh!  and  faithful 
follower  of  the  family  ;  with  Parks,  the  black,  who 


returned  to   India,   readily  i

About  the  period  of  which  I  write,  when  I  was 
just  seventeen,  the  country  around  us  was  terribly 
disturbed ;  indeed  the  whole  south  of  Ireland  was  in 
a  flame  of  disaffection.  The  Whitcboys,  as  they 
were  called  with  us,  elsewhere  the  Terrvalts,  were 
enrolled  and  organized  in  alarming  numbers.  I 
remember  often  seeing  them,  on  light  nights,  from 
the  upper  windows,  with  white  bands  round  their 
hats,  that  gave  them  tho  appearance  of  a  troop  of 
mourners  at  a  funeral,  marching  with  military  pre-

Susan  had  undertaken  to  do  all  the  v 
any  temporary  hand  being  employed,  i 


and  was  unublc  to  accompany  my  aunt,  as  1  other- 
wise should.  It  was  near  the  end  of  the  day— a 
dull,  gloomy  one  in  the  month  of  November.     I 

was  standing  close  to  the  window,  reading,  trying 
to  catch  the  last  remnant  of  the  waning  light,  and 
deeply  absorbed  in  my  hook.  I  was  suddenly  start- 
led from  my  pursuit  by  a  dark  shadow  from  out- 
side quite  blocking  up  the  window.  I  gazed  in 
terror,  and  saw  a  man  on  the  grass-plot  just  under 
the  casement  looking  earnestly  in.  All  the  front 
wiii-'ows  were  low,  reaching  to  the  ground.  The 
book  dropped  from  my  hand  as  I  hastily  retreated, 
and  wi  li  dithYullv  snni.re-.-ed  a  scream.      He  made 


ntim.Lie  silence,  and  pointed  to  the  hall. door, 
ng  that  ho  wished  me  to  go  to  it.  On  a  closer 
iy  I  recognized,  to  my  surprise,  the  Roman 

Catholic  priest  of  the  parish,  a  person  I  had  soveral 
met  upon  the  road,  and  who  always  seemed 
ivil.     I  bad  heard  too  that  he  was  a  man 

greatly  beloved  by  the  poor  of  his  own  flock.    Some-

Look,  young  lady,7'  lie  resumed,  "get  me  a  bit  of 
paper  and  I'll  write  the  message  I  want  to  leave 
for  Mrs.  Osborne,  and  lie  quick,  please." 

"  If  you'll  come  this  way,"  I  replied,  "  I'll  get  it 
for  you,"  an'1  he  followed  me  into  the  sitting-room. 
A  sheet  of  letter-paper  was  lying  on  the  table. 

"Here,  this  will  do,"  and  he  took  it  up,  and 
tearing  it  across,  folded  one  half  of  it  into  the  form 
ofanote.  "  I  have  a  pencil,"  he  said;  and  taking 
a  book  in  his  hand  as  a  support  tor  the  note  he  went 
up  to  the  window,  and  with  his  eye  close  to  the  pa- 
per to  get  the  full  benefit  of  the  last  gleam  of  light 
ho  wrote  a  t'<-w  Hues  rapidly,  standing  with  his  back

I  caught  my  eye  curiously  lixed  on 


p.uying  caution  of  silence  in  regard  to  the  writer. 
My  aunt  seemed  considerably  surprised  at  what  I 
told  her,  and  hastily  opened  the  strange  missive;  I 
noticed  that  she  looked  pained  and  perplexed  as  -In

Phe  next  day  my  cold  was  too  heavy  to  think 
venturing  out.  Aunt  Osborne  wanted  to  forego 
■  intention  of  remaining  to  dinner;  I  insisted, 
vever,  on  her  abiding   by  the  original  arrange- 


■  the  Gregorys' at  the   I'.ank. 
In'  morning  1  ciunlowil  my  -i 

nearly  faced  the   Laurel    ' 


i-u'l  Mike  the  peddler  coming  up  the  walk.  No, 
'tisn't  Mike,"  she  added,  as  she  looked  out  more 
closely,  "  but  'tis  a  peddler,  any  how,  and  I'm  in 
sich  a  way  for  a  comb  lor  the  back  of  my  head." 

Poor  Susan  had  a  regular  penchant  for  peddlers: 
she'd  rather  buy  from  one  of  these  itinerant  hawk- 
er.-, and  pay  perhaps  a  great  deal  more,  than  at  any 
shop  in  the  town.  I  objected  strongly  to  a  strange 
man  at  such  times  being 
the  place,  especially  in 
but  the  servant  pleaded  si

livilly  he  looked,  I 
fancied,  weary.     I  motioned  him  to  the  hall-door, 

clusely  examining  the  contents  of  his  pack,  and 
trying  to  strike  a  bargain  for  some  of  his  goods: 
there   was   altogether   a   multifarious

goods  after  the  servant  had  paid  for  her  purchases, 
and  trudged  down  the  walk  by  whicli  he  had  come. 
We  both  stood  in  the  window  watching  him,  while

draped  in  a  dark,  heavy  wrap  of  Mrs.  Osborne's; 
it  seemed  to  me  as  if  he  must  have  hurriedly  folded 
it  round  hiin,  probably  on  hearing  my  step,  for  it 
was  clumsily  managed.  One  foot  projected,  quite 
uncovered,  and  I  at  once  recogui/.ed  a  peculiar  kind 
of  boot  that  I  had  noticed  on  tho  peddler  when  in 
the  hall  in  the  day.  I  know  not  how  I  kept  from 
instantly  betraying  tho  startling  discovery  by  a

have  rightfully  exercised  from  the  origin  of  the 
Government  to  the  present  time.  The  decision

of  the  United  States  in  the  case  of  PermoU  v. 

the  First  Municipality  of  New  Orleans.  When 
Louisiana  was  to  be  admitted  Congress  pre- 
scribed the  insertion  of  certain  specific  matters 
in  the  Constitution  to  be  framed  for  the  State. 
Mr.  Justice  Catron,  delivering  the  opinion  of 
the  Court,  said:  "All  Congress  intended  was 
to  declare  in  advance  to  the  people  of  the  Ter- 
ritory the  fundamental  principles  their  Consti- 
tution should  contain:  this  was  every  way  proper 
under  the  circumstances :  the  instrument  having 
been  duly  formed  and  presented,  it  was  for  the 
National  Legislature  to  judge  whether  it  contain- 
ed the  proper  principles,  and  to  accept  it  if  it  did, 
or  reject  it  if  it  did  not."  Mr.  Bishop  does  not 
hold  that  the  States  have  ceased  to  be  States : 
but  he  accepts  facts,  and  acknowledges,  as  every 
thoughtful  man  must  acknowledge,  that  the  late 
rebel  States  have  at  present  no  government  with- 
in the  Union,  and  can  obtain  one  only  upon  the 
conditions  which  the  Union  may  prescribe.    For, 


ntly  puts  the  argu 


tainty  no  republic

of  qualities,  a  modesty,  an  independence,  a  re-

of  every  thing  calculated  to  call  a  blush  into  the 
cheek  of  a  young  person,  which  one  would  seek 
in  vain  among  the  Nations  of  the  Earth." 

Mr.  Podsnap  at  present  edits  the  London 
Times,  in  which  he  says  solemnly  :  "  Certainly 
no  state  in  Europe  or  the  New  World  has  main-

THE  MILITARY  COUBT. 

The  argument  of  Reverdt  Johnson  against 
the  authority  of  the  Military  Court  now  sitting 
in  Washington  is  elaborate  and  able.  It  rests 
chiefly,  as  the  arguments  of  all  who  have  op- 
posed the  Court  rest,  upon  the  fifth  amendment 
of  the  Constitution  :  "No  person  shall  be  held 

crime  unless  on  a  presentment  or  indictment  of 
a  graud  jury,  except  in  cases  arising  in  the  land 
and  naval  forces,  or  in  the  militia  when  in  act- 
ive service  in  time  of  war  or  public  danger." 

But  is  a  man  who  enters  the  military  lines 
of  the  United  States  and  assassinates  the  Com- 
mander-in-Chief at  his  head-quarters,  being  sent 
for  that  purpose  by  the  authority  of  the  enemy

governments  justly  exist  by  the  consent  of  the 
governed. 

The  equality  thus  asserted  is  very  evident. 
It  is  not  an  equality  of  personal  qualities,  nor  of 
mental  powers,  nor  of  social  condition.  It  is  an 
equality  immediately  defined  as  a  common  in- 
alienable right  to  life,  liberty,  and  property  ;  an 
equality  before  the  law.  The  problem  of  gov- 
ernment is  simply  how  to  secure  and  maintain 
that  equality  ;  how  to  protect  the  equal  natural 
rights  of  men.  According  to  our  fathers  this 
problem  was  made  easy  of  solution  by  t 
ciple  they  had  already  a

government  was  so  likely  to  secure  equal  rights 
as  one  founded  upon  popular  consent.  If  all 
men  are  born  equal,  no  man  and  no  body  of 
men  can  have  a  right  to  limit  or  destroy  the 
original  rights  of  others.  Hence  government 
must  spring  from  the  consent  of  the  governed.

take  part  in  the  government  that  therefore  one 
man  or  a  few  individuals  may  rightfully  govern  ? 
No.  The  application  of  the  principle  is  limited 
by  the  conditions  of  human  nature  and  by  the

REBEL  BELLIGERENT  RIGHTS 
WITHDRAWN. 

Holland,  France,  and  England  have  with- 
drawn their  recognition  of  belligerent  rights  to 
the  late  rebels  in  the  United  States.  The  trne 
history  of  tho  subject,  so  far  as  England  is  con- 
cerned, has  been  lately  related  by  George  Be- 
ans, an  accomplished  publicist  of  Boston,  in  n 
valuable  pamphlet  called  "Hasty  Recognition 
of  ({■■he!  Belligerency."  In  this  clear  and  ad- 
mirable work  Mr.  Bemis  shows  conclusively 
that  the  British  recognition  of  the  rebels  as  bel- 
ligerents was  not  a  matter  of  necessity  but  of 
choice  ;  and  that  the  plea  of  Earl  Russell  and 
of  "  Historieus"  (Mr.  Vernon  Harcourt),  that 
the  order  for  the  blockade  compelled  England 
"  to  follow  the  United  States"  in  admitting  bel- 
ligerent rights  was  purely  an  after-thought. 

The  variety  of  proof  which  Mr.  Bemis  ad- 
duces shows  thoughtful  study  and  the  aeutest 
observation.     His  case  is  complete.     Lord  Rus- 

off  his  own  pen.  Even  in  his  speech  defending 
himself  against  Mr.  Bright,  his  lordship  says 
that  "our  advisers  told  us  we  were  entitled  [not 
compelled]  to  recognize  the  existence  of  bel- 
ligerent rights."  The  over-zealous  "Histori- 
eus" had  said  two  days  before,  "  It  was  a  mat- 
ter not  of  choice  but  of  necessity."  The  truth 
is,  that  at  the  time  of  declaring  itself  the  Gov- 
ernment of  Great  Britain  had  not  been  officially 
informed  even  of  the  intention  of  a  blockade ; 

tion  of  blockade  is  not  such  an  interference  with 
commerce  as  to  justify  uji-friendly  powers  in  de- 
chii-imr  belligerency. 

Tho  President's  blockade  proclamation  was  is- 
sued on  the  19th  of  April,  1861.  It  was  official- 
ly communicated  to  Earl  Rossell  in  a  dispatch 
of  Lord  Lyons  on  the  22d  April,  which  was 
received  at  the  Foreign  Office  in  London  on 
the  tenth  May.  On  the  sixth  of  May  Lord  John 
Russell  announced  that  the  Cabinet,  having 
consulted  the  law  officers,  had  come  to  the  con- 
clusion that  the  "Southern  Confederacy  of 
America  [in  those  days  it  was  not  "so-called"] 
must  be  treated  as  a  belligerent."  On  the  same 
day,  four  days  before  he  had  officially  heard  of 
the  proposed  blockade,  he  writes  to  Lord  Lyons 
that  "  the  Confederacy" — meaning  the  Union — 
is  in  a  state  of  "disruption,"  and  that  as  "the 
provinces"  are  arrayed  in  arms  against  each  oth- 
er, the  British  Government  can  not  refuse  to 
recognize  the  "Southern  States"  as  belligerents. 
He  writes  to  Lord  Cowley  at  Paris  in  the  same 

speeches  is  there  the  least  mention  of  the  block- 
ade as  leaving  the  Government  no  alternative. 
A  civil  war  has  broken  out  between  the  States 
of  what  he  calls  "the  late  Union."  That  is 
enough  for  the  law  officers ;  and  his  lordship, 
six  days  after  he  learns  that  the  President  in- 
tends to  take  steps  to  suppress  a  rebellion,  rec- 
ognizes the  rebels  as  belligerents,  and  asks  Lord 
Lvons  to  make  no  mystery  of  the  fnei. 

This  is  what  Mr.  Bksiis  mildly  .  "Hasty 
Recognition."  Whether  a  Govenn.,  nt  acting 
in  such  a  spirit  and  upon  such  grounds  was 
likely  to  preserve  an  honest  neutrality,  wheth- 
er she  would  open  all  her  eyes  and  stretch  out 
all  her  hands  to  discover  and  detain  unlawfully 
equipped  ships,  are  questions  not  very  difficult 


A  CONDITION  OF  PARDON. 

The  form  of  the  pardon  granted  by  the  Pres- 
ident to  repentant  rebels  is  published.  It  takes 
effect  from  the  day  upon  which  the  oath  is 
taken  prescribed  in  the  proclamation  of  May 
29,  and  is  void  if  at  any  time  thereafter  the 
pardoned  person  acquires  any  property  in  slaves, 
or  makes  any  use  of  slave  labor. 

There  is  no  mistaking  that  condition.  No 
wonder  that  Beriah  M'Goffin,  of  Kentucky, 
pronounces  for  the  emancipation  amendment. 
Henceforth  the  colored  population  of  the  late 
rebel  States  are  personally  free.  That  they  are 
citizens  has  been  already  held  by  Attorney-Gen- 
eral Bates.  There  are  probably  more  than 
four  millions  of  them — about  a  seventh  of  the 
entire  population  of  the  country — and  they  can 
never  again  be  reduced  to  personal  bondage. 

Fortunately  for  the  rest  of  us  they  are  a  mild 


forts  to  obtain  that  equality  before  the  laws  to 
which  every  American  freeman  may  justly  as- 
pire. They  are  henceforth  an  important  polit- 
ical element  in  the  country,  and  until  they 
obtain  that  political  position  from  which  no- 
thing but  a  prejudice  debars  them  the  attempt 
to  attain  it  will  constantly  agitate  both  the  States 
in  which  they  live  and  the  country  at  large. 

We  say  nothing  but  a  prejudice  debars  them. 
We  shall  gladly  own  our  error  if  the  people  who 
are  to  re-form  the  Constitutions  of  North  Caro- 
lina and  Mississippi  limit  the  suffrage  to  all  who 
satisfy  a  test  of  education.  If  they  do  otherwise 
— if  they  allow  ignorant  persons  to  vote  merely 

confirmed.  But  such  an  exclusion,  even  if  ap- 
proved by  Congress,  settles  nothing.  The  mo- 
control  of  the  coun- 
egins  in  every  Slate 
euiistitmioiuil  nrnondmeni   forbidding  ;in\ 


This  unquestionable  truth,  and  the  fact  that 
the  President  plainly  informs  the  people  whom 
he  invites  to  begin  the  work  of  reorganization 
that  the  State,  as  a  State,  will  be  entitled  to  the 
guaranty  of  the  United  States  against  "inva- 
sion, insurrection,  and  domestic  violence"  only 
upon  the  presentation  of  a  proper  republican 
form  of  State  government,  must  certainly  have 
great  influence  upon  truly  sensible  men  in  the 
Southern  States.  If  they  are  wise  they  will  ac- 
cept the  situation.  They  will  ask  whether  Con- 
gress can  fairly  be  expected  to  guarantee  against 
domestic  violence  .1  State  which  arbitrarily  dis- 
franchises half  of  its  loyal  and  industrial  popu- 
lation ;  whether,  indeed,  such  a  guaranty  would 
not  be  very  sure  to  perpetuate  internal  convul- 
sion and  trouble?  Wise  citizens  will  propose  a 
qualification  for  suffrage  which  is  really  repub- 
They  will  save  the  prolonged  trouble, 
excitement,  and  uncertainty  of  the  Territorial 


C^SAE  UPON  CONSPIRATORS. 

We  observe  that  some  of  the  papers  which 
ilf  excused  the  crime  of  Jefferson  Davis 
dw  commend  the  speech  of  Jdlius  Caesar  to 
the  Roman  Senate  upon  the  Catilinian  conspir- 
is  a  masterly  plea  for  clemency  to  the  reb- 
el chiefs.  We  are  certainly  in  favor  of  the  ut-

find  his  speech  in  the  Emperor's  History

ihment  adequate  to  their  offenses,  I  will 
approve  tho  new  measure ;  but  if,  on  the  con- 
trary, the  vastness  of  the  crime  exceeds  all  that 
i  imagined,  we  should  adhere,  I  think,  to

CHAPTER  XVIII. 


"  It  is  good  to  be  merry  and  wise,"  saith  an 
old  song;  but  every  man  can  not  be  a  laughing 

philosopher,  and  though  it  is  comparatively  easy 


effort  to  combine  them.  Happy  youth,  whose 
best  wisdom  it  is,  after  all,  to  be  merry  while  it 
may  !  Which  of  us  would  not  gladly  barter  this 
bitter  wisdom  of  later  years  for  but  a  single  season 
—nay,  a  single  day— of  that  happy  thoughtless 
time  when  the  simplest  jest  provoked  a  laugh, 
and  the  commonest  way-side  flower  had  a  beauty

THE  FOURTH  OF  JULY,  1865. 

ONCE  more  the  flag  of  the  United  States 
floats  supreme  over  every  inch  of  its.  right- 
ful domain,  from  the  pine  hills  of  Maine  to  the 
palm  shores  of  the  Gulf,  and  from  one  ocean  to 
the  other.  Four  years  ago  it  fell  at  Fort  Sum- 
ter upon  a  startled  people,  doubting  if  they  were 
a  nation.  It  rises  again  over  the  strongest  na- 
tion upon  the  globe.     The  great  national  festi-

Eighty-nine  years  ago  our  fathers  declared  a 
popular  government  to  be  practicable.  They 
asserted  that  such  a  government  would  be  ade- 
quate to  every  emergency,  signally  prosperous 
in  peace,  and  invincible  Bgti  n  i  ■■■n  .  ■■.■  \-.-y. 

cign  war.  Favored  by  every  felicitous  influence 
of  situation,  of  climate,  and  of  moderate  popu- 
lation, the  great  experiment  began.  That  it  was 
an  experiment  the  Old  World  insisted.  That 
with  a  kind  climate  and  spare  population  it 
might  work  well  so  long  as  there  was  peace,  was 
contemptuously  conceded.  But  that  it  would 
yield  to  the  first  serious  pressure,  and  disappear 
in  war,  whs  haughtily  asserted. 

It  was  called  an  experiment,  and  it  was  more 
so  than  was  believed.  It  claimed  to  be  a  trial 
of  the  principle  of  popular  government,  but  it 
was  not  a  fair  trial.     Thoughtful  men  early  saw 


truly  popular  system,  but  of  one  vitiated  by  a 
partial  but  absolute  denial  of  the  popular  princi- 
ple. If,  on  the  other  hand,  it  succeeded,  its 
success  would  be  the  subliniest  proof  of  the  en- 
during character  of  such  a  government,  and  a 
final  vindication  of  a  wise  faith  in  man.

no  essential  element,  the  labor  was  accomplished 
under  the  leadership  of  a  man  whose  purity  of 
life  and  sublime  simplicity  of  genius,  added  to 
his  profound  faith  in  liberty  and  entire  reliance 
upon  law,  made  him  the  characteristic  represent- 
ative of  the  American  people  and  of  republican 
institutions.  In  the  bright  garland  of  the  re-

THE  PUBLIC  SAFETY. 

Five  years  ago,  when  the  Government  of 
le  United  States  was  threatened  with  destruc- 
on,  a  largo  party  declared  that  it  had  no  con- 
1  right  to  defend  itself,  but  must  con- 


in  other  words,  the  people  acting  through  their 
lawful  authorities— declined  to  be  destroyed,  and 
after  a  long  and  terrible  struggle,  which  took  all 
the  forms  and  proportion  of  war,  has  succeeded 
in  subduing  the  armed  insurrection  against  its 
authority.  Having  thus,  at  the  cost  of  a  quar- 
ter of  a  million  of  lives,  an  enormous  public 
debt,  and  a  universal  derangement  of  affairs, 
once  more  established  that  authority,  it  is  now 
told  that  it  has  no  constitutional  right  to  secure 
it.  This  assertion  is  not  made  by  the  adher- 
ents and  apologists  of  the  rebellion  only,  but  in 
the  New  York  Daily  Times  we  find  this  extraor- 
dinary statement:  "We  do  not  assent,  there- 
fore, to  Mr.  Dana's  position,  that  we  may  right- 
fully impose  upon  the  Southern  States  any  re- 
quirements which  we  may  deem  essential  to  the 
public  safety."  That  is  to  say,  the  Government 
of  the  United  States  must  submit  to  any  meas- 
ures which  "  the  Southern  States"  may  choose 
to  adopt  in  their  reorganization,  even  if  it  con- 
siders them  to  be  destructive  of  the  public  safety. 
Fortunately  for  the  country  this  is  not  the 
ground  taken  by  the  President  of  the  United 
States.     Slavery,  he  said  to  the  South  Caro- 


been  rebels  for  four  years  and 
dead.  Whatever  you  may  think  about  it — 
whatever  your  State  Constitution  may  say  about 
it,  it  is  still  true,  said  President  Andrew  John- 
son, speaking  in  the  name  of  the  United  States, 
that  "there  is  no  hope  that  the  people  of  South 
Carolina  can  be  admitted  into  the  Senate  or  the 
House  of  Representatives  until  they  afford  evi- 
dence by  their  conduct  of  this  truth." 

The  President  imposes  the  condition  of  eman- 
cipation on  the  State  reorganization  because  the 
public  safety  requires  it.  Upon  what  other 
ground  than  the  public  safety  has  the  Government 
waged  war  ?  What  was  the  war  but  the  main- 
tenance of  the  national  authority  against  local 
action,  which  was  incompatible  with  public  safe- 
ty ?  And  in  that  part  of  the  country  which  was 
the  seat  of  war  what  political  authority  exists  at 
this  moment  but  that  of  the  nation  ?  If  it  be 
asserted  that  States  can  not  cease  to  be  States, 
we  should  like  to  know  in  the  present  situation 
who  is  to  decide  that  point  ?  If  it  be  assnmed 
that  certain  loyal  citizens  constitute  the  States, 
we  should  like  to  know  who  settles  that  ques- 
tion? Clearly  the  people  of  the  United  States 
through  their  lawful  Government ;  and  while 
undoubtedly  those  people  desire  that  State  gov- 
ernments may  be  organized  as  speedily  as  the 
public  safety  will  permit,  they  are  resolved  with 
equal  unanimity  that  no  local  government  shall 
be  established  any  where  in  the  country  except 
upon  conditions  which  they  may  deem  essential 
i"  the  public  safety. 

If  the  political  authority  of  the  United  States 


ulates  it  independently  of  all  other.  But  if 
there  be  another  authority  which  refuses  to  rec- 
ognize any  validity  in  the  State  Constitution  ex- 
cept upon  prescribed  conditions,  then  that  au- 
thority is  paramount,  and  it  may  prescribe  a 
reformation  in  parts  or  altogether  of  that  Con- 
stitution. If  the  Times  be  correct,  the  procla- 
mations of  President  Johnson  are  unconstitu- 
tional, because  he  has  imposed  upon  the  South- 
ern States  requirements  which  he  deems  essen- 
tial to  the  public  safety — a  course  which  :

as  the  House  isTol  o 


your  Senators  and  Kep- 
them  to  Washington  ;  and 
organized  they  will  have  a 
voice  in  the  organization."  If  the  Times  be 
correct,  this  was  sound  advice.  If  the  country 
can  not  impose  upon  the  reorganization  of  rebel 
States  such  conditions  as  the  public  safety  may 
require,  then  the  public  safety  is  at  the  mercy 
of  those  rebel  States. 

If,  again,  it  be  alleged  that  although  all  the 
people  in  the  State  have  by  the  State  attitude 
of  rebellion  forfeited  their  political  rights,  and 
that  they  are  restored  by  the  pardoning  pmver 

falls  to  the  ground  by  its  own  terms.  For, 
manifestly,  if  all  the  people  in  a  State  have  for- 
feited their  political  rights  there  is  nobody  which 

can  rightfully  exerci&e  political  power  there,  ex- 
luthority,  and 


view  to  national  pence,  and  security. 

That  is  precisely  the  cardinal  point  in  the 
labor  of  reorganization,  which  is  now  plainly 
apparent.  The  United  States  having  over- 
thrown the  armed  resistance  to  its  authority  is 


denied  and  assailed  upon 
as  it  conceives  essential  to  the  public  safety. 
Those  conditions  may  be  entirely  unknown  to 
any  State  Constitution  in  the  recovered  district. 
Indeed,  in  every  instance  thus  far  they 
known  to  those  Constitutions.  " 
for  instance,  the  State  law  ordains  that  every 
free  white  male  of  a  certain  age  shall  be  deem- 
ed a  qualified  elector.  But  the  President  sets 
aside  fourteen  classes  of  such  electors,  and  ad- 


uuu  in  vote  only  those  c

Times,  "imposed  upon  the  Southern  States?" 
Simply  because  in  the  President's  estimation  the 
public  safety  requires  it.  Does  any  body  sup- 
pose that  if,  in  his  estimation  any  other  condi- 
tion had  been  essential,  he  might  not  have  re- 
quired it  ?  Might  he  not  equally  have  required, 
as  a  pledge  of  fidelity,  that  (he'Constitution  to 
he  formed  for  the  State  shall  not  disfranchise 
any  innocent  citizen  because  of  the  shape  of  his 
nose  or  the  color  of  his  face  ? 

The  President  has,  however,  decided  to  im- 
pose no  other  conditions  than  those  we  have 
named.  But  he  has  not  declared  that  any  Con- 
stitution which  may  be  submitted  by  the  electors 
whom  he  has  qualified,  even  if  accepted  by  the 
State,  shall  therefore  be  received  as  final.  He 
reserves  to  himself  and  to  Congress,  that  is,  to  tho 
people  of  the  United  States  in  their  government 
—the  ultimate  decision.  And  what  will  govern 
that  decision?  Considerations  of  the  public 
safety.  The  highest  constitutional  duty  of  both 
President  and  Congress  is  to  provide  for  that, 
and  in  taking  every  measure  which  a  terrible 
experience  has  shown  to  be  essential  to  the  pub- 
safety,  they  may  rely  upon  the  unfaltering 
of  every  true  Union  man

WHAT  EUROPE  THINKS. 
The  United  States  Government  has  now  fur- 
nished Europe  with  an  argument  which  every 
It  has  prov.-.l  ii-ell, 
st,  to  be  practically 
invipcible.  We  are  not  surprised,  therefore,  to 
hear  of  the  sudden  and  amazed  respect  for  us 
which  has  suddenly  arisen  in  the  most  hostile 
foreign  circles.  We  are  not  surprised  that  the 
French  official  organ  emphatically  denies  that 
the  Government  intended  to  send  reinforce- 
ments to  Mexico,  and  that  the  United  States 
minister  in  Paris  has  suddenly  become  a  man 
worth  knowing.  We  are  not  surprised  to  learn 
that  very  conspicuous  members  of  the  British 
Government  now  confess  that  they  were  entire- 
ly mistaken  upon  the  American  question,  and 
would  be  very  glad  to  prove  that  they  have  been 
really  friendly  to  us— if  they  could. 

Indeed  it  is  doubtless  true  that  the  dispatches 
of  our  Department  of  State  are  regarded  with 
deeper  interest  than  the  utterances  of  any  for- 
eign office  in  Europe;  while  our  bonds  are  in 
the  highest  favor  in  Germany  and  Holland,  and 
are  creeping  into  England,  where,  however,  a 
natural  restlessness  about  Mexican  affairs  tem- 
porarily depresses  our  stocks.  In  fact,  as  one 
of  the  best-informed  gentlemen  in  Europe  re- 
marks, the  United  States  Government  is  now 
regarded  not  only  as  one  of  the  great  powers, 
the  globe. 
riends  in  Europe  rejoice 
wisely  and  in  full  sympathy  with  us.  They  un- 
derstand, as  we  do,  that  the  great  fundamental 
interests  of  the  people  are  the  same  upon  both 
sides  of  the  sea.  They  are  working  steadily 
and  hopefully  for  their  reb'ef  from  many  a  crash- 
ing weight.  They  see  in  our  success  the  great- 
est proof  of  the  practicability  of  their  efforts, 
and  feel  the  loftiest  inspiration  for  their  con- 


to  show  that  we  know  how  to  use  vic- 

rell  as  to  win  it.     We  arc  to  show  that 

i  in  the  equality  of  human  rights  and  in 

'  founded  upon  the  consent  of  the 


st  a  treasonable  faction.     By 
our  true  moderation,  by  our  manly  firmness,  by 

respect  for  those  of  others,  bv  our  independence 
of  precedents  established  by  aristocratic  author- 
ity, and  by  our  perfect  confidence  in  our  ability 
to  make  rules  of  policy  as  well  as  to  follow  them, 
we  are  to  show  that  in  no  point  of  a  secure  and 
economical  and  free  government  is  a  republic 
inferior  to  the  most  cunningly  balanced  aristoc- 
racy or  paternal  monarchy. 

The  faith  of  our  true  friends  in  Europe  has 
been  substantially  our  own,  and  the  Thanks- 
giving is  common  to,  us  all.

important  order.  The  laws  of  Virginia  which 
applied  to  free  colored  persons  were,  as  he  says, 
siib-itiuiiinlly  part  of  the  slave  code.  " 
laws  all  the  population  freed  by  t 
tion  proclamation  were  subjected.  General 
Terry,  therefore,  says  that  the  law  expires  with 
tho  reason  of  the  law,  and  that  henceforth  all 
people  of  color  will  enjoy  exactly  the  same  per- 
sonal liberty  as  all  other  citizens,  and  will  be 

and  no  other.     Neither  \ 
be  permitted  1 
and  blacks  may  seek  employment  where  they 
will.     And  as  c     - 
tribunals  crimin 

by  military  courts,  the  evidence  c 
sons  will  be  received  by  such  courts  in  all  cases. 
This  is  simple  common  sense.  The  United 
States  Government  acknowledges  no  distinction 
between  white  and  colored  citizens,  and  wher- 
ever its  authority  is  paramount  no  such  distinc- 
tion can  bo  permitted.  If  every  provisional  Gov- 
ernor of  the  late  rebel  States  were  like  Major- 
General  Terry,  the  country  would  be  spared 
infinite  trouble. 


CHARACTERISTIC  ADVICE. 

Tub  London  rebel  organ,  the  Index,  advi» 

KviL')i--li  :iinl  I'icni'll  eu]-iial  to  invest  itself  i 
rapidly  as  possible  in  the  Southern  States,  th: 
a  direct  trade  may  be  established  between  the 
and  Europe,  by  which  an  interest  adverse  l 


in  nothing,  according  t< 
trade  so  desirable  as  in  literature.  Indeed  that 
excellent  authority  informs  us  that  "no  true 
Southern  gentleman  or  lady  will  ever  for  amuse- 
ment's sake  read  a  Northern  book  or  periodical, 

Northern  written  or  Northern  printed The 

Southern  book  trade  alone  was  worth  to  the 
North  before  the  war  many  millions  of  dollars. 


Here  is  the  same  delightful  disregard  of  nil 
the  laws  of  human  intercourse  which  do  not  de- 
pend in  the  least  degree  upon  whim  or  passion 
that  we  have  heard  for  thirty  years  from  the  late 
rebels.  It  springs  from  the  same  amusing  igno- 
rance which  used  ( 


indignant  rcsoli 
holders  could  make  Charleston  a  great  commer- 
cial capital.  The  worthy  souls  might  have  as 
wisely  determined  that  there  should  be  vast  coal 
beds  in  South  Carolina,  and'  cxhaustless  iron 
mines  in  Florida. 

Production  and  trade  are  very  independent 
of  the  proceedings  of  hot-headed  conventions. 
Fugitive-slave-bill  Mason  once  defiantly  came 
to  the  Senate  of  the  United  States  in  a  suit  of 
That  was  the  way  in  which 


the  woolen  mills  in  the  wicked  "  North."  Some- 
body quietly  turned  up  one  of  the  buttons  and 
showed  the  Connecticut  trade  mark.  It  is  a 
final  law.  The  trade  mark  of  cheapest  produc- 
tion will  always  be  turned  up  on  every  com- 
modity in  the  world.  Mehemet  Ali,  the  last 
great  Egyptian  pacha,  resolved  to  make  Egypt 
independent  of  the  world.  The  valley  of  the 
Nile  had  formerly  produced  indigo  of  fine  qual- 
ity. So  the  pacha  planted  indigo  in  the  grain 
fields.  He  raised  a  good  crop.  He  even  con- 
trolled the  European  indigo  market.  But, 
meanwhile,  Egypt  wanted  food,  and  indigo 
presently  yielded  to  the  grain. 

The  inevitable  law  includes  literature  no  less 
than  wheat.  Formerly  the  foolish  spirit  which 
edits  the  Index  demanded  a  "Southern"  litera- 
ture, to  be  supplied  by  "  Southern"  genius,  and 
to  be  supported  by  "true  S 
ami  Indies."  It  was  like  saying  thai 
should  be  drunk  in  the  South  except  t 
was  raised  from  Southern  vines,  upon  Southern 
soil,  and  iced  from  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  As  a 
matter  of  experience  Mr.  William  Gilmore 
Sisliis  did  create  a  literature  in  many  volumes. 
But  they  were  printed  in  New  York.  Where 
they  were  sold  or  read  we  have  never  learned. 
Now,  however,  it  appears  that  there  is  a  suspi- 
cion of  the  power  of  a  region  to  pradnce  a  litera-

if,  says  the  Index,  "publishers  would  only

American  standard  of  prices  they  would  have 
little  to  apprehend,  at  least  so  far  as  the  South-

NO  MORE  FOREIGN  GOODS. 
It  is  well  understood  that  the  tariff  will  be 
modeled  at  the  next  session  of  Congress.  Three 
distinct  parties  demand  alterations  in  the  pres- 
ent schedule  of  duties.  One  party,  calling  them- 
selves Free-traders,  ask  that  the  duties  on  for- 
eign goods  be  reduced,  and  that  Government 
rely  more  exclusively  on  the  product  of  internal 


And 


a  third  party  request  that  the  duties  on  foreign 
goods  be  raised,  with  a  view  of  checking  im- 
portations and  diminishing  the  outward  flow  oT 

The  Free-traders  stand  on  principle.  They 
denounce  nil  interference  by  Government  with 
the  freedom  of  trade,  and  assert,  with  good  rea- 
son, that  protective  duties  ore  merely  taxes  on 

another  class.  The  Protectionists,  on  the  oth- 
er hand,  argue  from  the  point  of  view  of  self- 
interest,  and  claim  that  it  is  the  interest  of  the 
country  that  manufactures  be  developed,  and 
that  this  can  not  be  completely  achieved  until, 
for  a  period,  they  have  been  relieved  altogether 
from  foreign  competition.  This  argument, 
Bound  or  unsound  as  it  may  be,  is  likely  to  be 
urged  in  quarters  where  it  might  have  been  sup- 
posed that  free-trade  doctrines  would  havo  been 
generally  prevalent.  Illinois  is  not  blind  to  the 
prospect  of  becoming  the  great 


But  it  is  possible  that  the  views  of  both  these 
classes  may  be  made  to  give  way  to  the  more 
immediate  cogency  of  the  reasoning  of  the  third 
party  to  which  we  havo  alluded. 

It  can  not  be  denied  that  there  is  danger  of 
large  importations,  imd*conscrjuently  of  a  heavy 
drain  of  gold,  and  consequently  of  a  high  pre- 
mium upon  specie.  It  is  now  certain  that  the 
Western  crops  are  going  to  be  the  largest  ever 
harvested.  It  follows  that  the  Western  people 
are  going  to  be  rich,  and  will,  of  course,  have  a 
great  deal  of  money  to  spend.  That,  in  the 
ordinary  course  of  events,  they  will  spend  a 
large  portion  of  this  in  foreign  drygoods  and 
foreign  luxuries,  is  clear.  Our  merchants  are 
making  their  preparations  already  for  a  heavy 
fall  trade,  and  from  present  appearances,  if  no 
currency  disturbance  occurs,  the  spring  trade 
will  be  even  heavier.  Now,  it  is  obvious  that 
the  country  can  not  stand  heavy  importations 
without  very  serious  injury.  The  slight  cir- 
cumstance of  a  few  millions  of  gold  being  ex- 
ported in  May  and  June  has  enabled  speculators 
to  "comer"  the  gold  market,  and  the  premium 
has  risen  from  129  to  142.  For  daily  delivery 
gold  is  worth  from  \  to  £  per  cent,  a  day.  If, 
in  October  or  in  February  next,  we  have  to  pay 
for  nn  unusually  large  quantity  of  foreign  goods, 


specie  :  whence  it  would  follow 
accumulate  at  the  central  points,  and  that  the 
first  tight  money-market  would  very  materially 
reduce  the  premium  on  gold.  Whether  this 
would  be  an  advantage  that  would  compensate 

littire.    The 


been  larger 


It  is  this  danger  which  has  led  many  men  to 
consider  the  expediency  of  raising  the  tariff 
upon  all  foreign  goods  which  are  not  of  prime 
necessity  to  a  point  that  would  prove  prohibi- 
tory.     Tea,  coffee,  hides,  spices,  drugs,  and 

with,  and  the  duty  on  these  should  never  be  so 
high  as  to  diminish  materially  their  consump- 


The  effect  would  be  that  onr  wives  would 
not  be  able  to  indulge  in  the  luxury  of  Lyons 
silks,  or  their  husbands  in  Champagne,  Chateau 
Yqnem,  and  fifty  cent  Cabauas:  which  would      and  loyal  : 
be  sad.     But,  on  the  other  hand,  another  effect     Counties,  T 
would  be  that  the  country  at  large  would  have     iatory  j

world  at  large,  end  would  not  require  to  export     to  blow- 


consumption  of  foreig 
regulated  by  tariffs: 
under  a  high  tariff  tha 
it  has  always  been  in  direct  ratio  to  bank  ex- 
pansion. Given  the  bank  discounts  of  the  Unit- 
ed States,  it  has  always  been  easy  to  figure  out 
the  importations  of  foreign  goods,  and  the  con- 
sumption, or,  in  other  words,  the  extravagance 
of  the  people.  To  put  tho  formula  in  homelier 
language,  we  always  spend  all  the  money  we 
can  get,  whether  it  procures  us  little  or  much. 

But  the  expenditure  of  an  absolutely  prohib- 
itory tariff  has  never  been  tried.  The  tariff  of 
1828-'32,  against  which  South  Carolina  rebelled, 
and  which  was  repealed  as  intolerable,  was  less 
severe  than  the  tariff  now  in  force.  No  tariff 
has  ever  been  adopted  in  this  country  with  the 
direct  purpose  of  excluding  foreign  goods.     We

Il  critic  of  the  Boston  meeting  to  consider 
true  policy  of  reorganization,  says  that  there 
is  nothing  to  warrant  the  assumption  that  if 
loyal  residents  of  the  different  States  of 
the  South  are  allowed  to  exercise  a  right  which 
sidents  of  other  States  enjoy  without  dis- 
pute, they  will  do  so  to  the  prejudice  of  a  par- 

The  critic  has  apparently  failed  to  observe 
that  the  object  of  the  Boston  meeting  was  to 
recommend  that  "the  loyal  residents,"  and  not 
it  part  of  them  most  of  whom  have  been  rebels, 
sliauld  exercise  the  political  power  of  the  State. 
The  critic  means,  however,  not  the  loyal  resi- 
dents, but  a  certain  part  of  them,  and  he  asserts 
that  there  is  no  reason  to  believe  that  they  will

not  only  disfranchises  the  colored  citizen,  but  cov-

Nashville  Times  says  of  the  bill  ordaining  the 
of  the  colored  population ;"  We  opposed 
the  bill  while  pending  in  the  Lower  House,  not 
only  because  it  was  essentially  wrong  in  some

It  is  just  as  sensible  to  speak  of  Magratr  or 
Pickens  for  provisional  Governor  of  South  Caro- 
lina as  of  W.  W.  Boyce.  He  was  one  of  the 
fiercest  of  secessionists  and  most  fiery  of  fire- 
eaters.     On  the  evening  before  Mr.  Lincoln's 

Congress  from  South  Carolina,  was  serenaded 
by  the  intending  secessionists  at  Columbia,  in 
that  State,  and  said,  "I  think  tho  only  policy 
for  us  is  to  arm  as  soon  as  we  receive  authentic 

intelligence  of  the  election  of  Lincoln 

We  will  not  submit  whether  the  other  Southern

Mr.  Botoe  the  criminal  folly  of  such  talk.  But 
if  there  be  a  body  of  leaders  who  deceived  and 
stimulated  the  South  into  treason  and  rebellion, 
W.  W.  Boyce  is  one  of  thera ;  and  Wigfall 
might  as  properly  have  been  made  provisional 
Governor  of  Texas  as  Boyce  of  South  Carolina.

are  defeated  and  conquered  by  the  North,  who 
are  too  strong  for  us."  That  little  remark 
showed  precisely  his  state  of  mind.  The  fact 
is,  that  the  people  of  the  United  States  through 
their  Government  have  suppressed  a  tremendous 
rebellion.  But  no  section  has  done  it.  The

whirl]  devastated  Charleston  in  the  month  of  De- 
cember, 1861.  The  fire  broke  out  in  a  sash  factory 
at  the  foot  of  Hazel  Street,  and,  under  the  impulse 
given  it  by  a  stiff  breeze,  did  not  cease  until  a  con- 
siderable portion  of  the  city  from  East  Bay  to  King 
Street  was  destroyed.  Among  the  prominent  build- 
ings burned  were  the  Smith  Carolina  Institute,  tlio 
Circular  Church,  the  Catholic  Cathedral,  St.  An- 
drew's Hall,  and  the  Theatre. 

t  page  428, 
i  by  Barnard,  places  the 
reader  upon  King  Street,  and  gives  him  a  view  of 
the  desolating  effect  of  the  conflagration.  Standing 
hero,  he  sees  opposite  him  the  Circular  Church  on 
Meeting  Street.  It  is  surrounded  by  a  scaffold.  It 
was  the  design  of  the  Charlestonians  to  repair  the

nearly  two  full  years  its  streets  might  not  be  walked 
without  mortal  peril.  Its  haughty  citizens,  impov- 
erished and  humbled,  either  fled  from  its  precincts 
or  skulked  in  cellars.  And,  after  four  years,  the 
city  which  had  suffered  so  much  for  its  own  folly 
was  relieved  from  her  burden,  not  by  triumphant 
rebels,  but  by  the  final  and  complete  victory  of  that 
Government  which  it  had  defied,  and  had  hoped  to

Mr.  F.  Stone,  counsel  for  Harold,  claimed  that 
no  evidence  had  been  offered  that  Harold  had  ever

bellion, though  there  was  no  doubt  that  lie  had 
aided  in  the  escape  of  Booth.  He  had  nothing  to 
do  with  the  murder.  Booth's  dving  words  were 
adduced  in  piool  of  llAia.iuVs  innocence. 

Mr.  Cox  claimed  for  Arnold  and  O'Laughlej 
that,  although  they  may  have  listened  to  Buuth's 
suggestions,  they  were  guiltless  of  any  connection

a  few  days,  I  reluctantly  gave  up  the  search,  and

"Word  for  word." 

Mr.  Trefalden  leaned  back  in  his  chair  and 
laughed— a  little,  soft,  satisfied  laugh,  like  an 
audible  smile. 

"I  have  a  familiar  demon,  Saxon,"  said  he.

"I  will  not  come  at  all,"  ho  said,  closing 
decisively  and  taking  up  his  hat.      "  I  will  n

there,  and  return  by  the  last  train  at  ten."

"and  a  day  out  of  town  will  invigorate  you  for

"Indeed,  cousin  William,  I  never  will,"  re- 
plied Saxon,  penitently. 

"  And  if  your  disinterested  friend  comes  to 
you  in  his  wrath  to-morrow  morning,  refer  him 

any  amount  of  vituperation." 

"I  suppose  he  will  be  very  much  annoyed," 
said  Saxon. 

"  Annoyed  ?  He  will  go  raging  up  and  down 
seeking  whom  he  may  devour.  But  what  does 
that  matter?  His  anger  will  not  fall  upon  you, 
but  upon  your  legal  adviser.  And  I  am  not 
afraid  that  he  will  eat  me.  Lawyers  are  indi- 
gestible." 

Whereupon  they  again  shook  hands  and  went 
their  separate  ways ;  Mr.  Trefalden's  way  being

but  he  felt  decidedly  uncomfortable  when  he 
heard  the  quick  ring  of  the  banker's  high-heeled 
boots  on  the  polished  floor  of  the  ante-chamber. 

Mr.  Greatorex  came  in,  shut  the  door  in  Gil- 
lingwater's  face,  flung  a  crumpled  slip  of  paper 
on  the  table,  and  said,  in  a  voice  that  quivered 
widi  suppressed  passion  : 

"You  have  thought  fit,  Mr.  Trefalden,  to  stop 
the  payment  of  this  check.  May  I  inquire  with 
what  motive?" 

He  kept  his  hat  on,  and  the  face  beneath  it 
was  at  a  white  heat,  even  to  the  lips.

Chancery  Lane,  and  you'll  see  me  back  in  Lom-

In  another  moment  they  were  flying  down 
Pall  Mall,  and  Greatorex  was  saying  quite  pleas- 
antly, and  in  his  usual  well-bred  tone: 

"There's  no  need,  Trefalden,  that  you  should 
come  back  all  the  way  to  Drummond's.  I'll 
wait  for  you  at  Child's,  close  by.  They  know

Kate  commerc' 


New  York,  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  ' 
June  ult.,  imported  goods  to  the  amount 
$r52, 483,65s,  and  exported  produce  to 
amount  of  $204,103,229,  and  specie  to 
amount  of  ®4o,n3,33o.  If  the  value 
the  exports  and  imports  were  returned  , 
the  Custom-house  in  the  same  currency, 
showing  would  give  a  balance  due  the  por 
about  890,000,000.  Unfortunately  the 
ports  are  figured  at  their  value  in  curre 
while  the  importB  are  entered  at  their  invc 
or  specie,  value.  Thus  if  we  calculate  t 
during  the  fiscal  year  1 864-5,  the  average 
mium  on  gold  was  too  per  cent.,  which  is 
very  wide  of  the  mark,  the  true  or  specie  v

Before  the  war  it  was  held  that  one-half  the 
total  exports  of  the  United  States  were  shipped 
from  New  York,  and  that  two-thirds  the  total

It  must  be  borne  in  mind,  however,  that  all 
such  calculations  as  these  are  merely  approxi- 
mative. It  is  easy  to  understand  that  a  larger 
quantity  of  domestic  produce  was  shipped  when 
gold  was  above  200  than  when  it  was  below  that 
figure ;  thus,  though  it  may  be  fair  to  call  200 
the  average  for  the  year  i864-'5,  the  actual 
amount  of  gold  realized  by  the  shipments  of 
that  fiscal  year  may  really  have  been,  and  prob- 
ably were,  less  than  one-half  the  currency  value 
of  those  shipments.  When  gold  rose  above  25o, 
our  merchants  shipped  every  thing  they  could 
lay  hands  upon— even  hay  to  England— and  the 
weekly  clearances  from  New  York

THE  NEW  SYSTEM. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  the  ample  resources 
of  the  magnificent  State  of  Virginia  and  the 
advantages  of  the  other  Southern  States  will  at 
last  be  fully  developed.  The  destruction  of  the 
feudal  system  of  society  which  has  blighted  those 
pleasant  regions  from  the  beginning  leaves  n 
country  sparely  peopled  and  with  few  of  the 
appliances  of  modern  civilization,  but  nobly  fur- 


iahi 


and  a 

generous  soil.     To 

the 

great  body  of

rapid  immigration

races  will  commingle. 

The  spirit  of  an  a

gishness  of  feudalism. 

Capital  in   large

a  little  later.     The  old  torm 

disturbed  and  destroyed  must 


minds  many  things  f 


exclusively  on    the

altogether.  Unfortunately,  there 
:ry  any  where  of  the  amonnt  of 
i  held  in  Europe.  No  two  bankers 
1  fifty  or  a  hundred  millions  on  the 


tross  around  his  neck  had  just  landed  at  the 
Battery  our  emotions  would  be  like  those  with 
which,  in  reading  of  the  preparations  for  laying 
the  new  Atlantic  cable,  we  observed  that  "Mr. 
De  Saoty  is  in  charge  of  the  electrical  condi- 
tion of  the  cable  for  the  makers."  This  is  sure- 
ly the  gentleman  whose  name  used  to  be  signed 
to  those  depressing  dispatches  which  appeared 
every  morning  just  after  the  former  experiment 
of  the  cable  in  the  years  before  the  war.  It 
seemed  as  if  he  must  be  growing  gray  and  mossy 

as  if  far  away  upon  some  lonely  Nova  Sco- 

tian  or  Newfoundland  shore  he  were  waiting 


more  tried.     The  Gre 


be  effectually  and 

dangerous  than  unsightly.  It  is  therefore  of 
the  utmost  importance  that  every  thing  which 
tends  to  preserve  the  ruins  should  be  forbidden, 
and  every  thing  encouraged  which  aims  to  rear 
the  new  order.  Combinations  of  capital  against 
labor  such  as  those  in  Virginia,  which  threaten 

merely  spiteful  efforts  to  perplex  the  situation. 
General  Howard,  Chief  of  the  Freedman's  Bu- 
reau, has  very  properly  refused  to  allow  his 
subordinates  to  prescribe  any  inflexible  terms, 
while  General  Habtsoff  has  most  wisely  or- 
dered that  no  more  meetings  shall  be  held  with- 
in his  military  jurisdiction  to  fix  a  price  for  the 

every  case  the  commanding  officers  of  counties 
shall  see  that  the  wages  paid  are  honest  living 
wages.     General  Terht  also,  as  we  mentioned

FRESH  EALLROAD  MASSACRES. 

Railroad  accidents  are  again  incessant  and 
frightful.  They  are  also  criminal.  The  col- 
lision upon  the  Harlem  track  between  the  Har- 
lem and  New  Haven  trains  was  inexcusable. 
The  catastrophe  upon  the  Hudson  River  road 
was  CMisperntingly  unnecessary.  The  slaugh- 
ters of  the  last  few  months  at  the  West  are  hor- 
rible. In  the  first  instance  the  tracks  are  laid 
upon  a  lofty  bridge  so  near  that  the  tops  of  the 
cars  struck  each  other.  The  only  excuse  we 
have  seen  is  that  the  weight  of  the  trains  proba- 
bly pressed  the  bridge  so  as  to  bring  the  tracks 
together.  Very  possibly ;  and  the  consequent 
collision  was  probably  the  occasion  of  the  bro- 
ken armfl  and  legs.     To  describe  a  crime  is  not

had  so  much  to  do  that  he  was  unable  to  do 
every  thing,  and  the  thing  he  could  not  do  on 
this  occasion  was  to  turn  the  switch.  The  train 
wits  conserjuently  thrown  into  the  river. 

The  disasters  that  are  escaped  also  are  fright- 
ful to  contemplate.  During  -a  violent  gust  a 
short  time  since  several  willow -trees  fell  di- 
rectly across  the  track  of  the  Erie  Railway  just 
ns  the  express  train  came  thundering  up,  and 
the  train  was  barely  stopped  in  time  to  escape 
with  shattered  windows  in  some  of  the  cars. 
A  few  evenings  ago  as  two  trains  were  proceed- 
ing upon  the  same  road,  the  express  in  front 
and  the  following  train  not  five  minutes  be- 
hind, a  huge  willow- tree  fell  full  across  the 
truck  between  them.    The  second  train  was  for- 

nn  instant  later  the  crash  would  have  been  fear- 
ful—destroying the  car  upon  which  it  fell,  and, 

a  train  from  the  track. 

i  by  the  Erie  road  speak  of 
a  habit  of  planting  willow-trees  along  the  line, 
apparently  for  ornament.  But  it  is  a  constant 
danger  to  the  public,  for  no  trees  are  more  lia- 
ble to  split  and  fall  than  the  willow.  Indeed 
any  kind  of  tree  should  be  very  sagaciously  se- 
lected for  planting  along  a  railroad  track.  It 
is  in  this  kind  of  observation  aud  public  report 
that  the  daily  travelers  by  railroads  into  the  city 
can  exercise  a  wholesome  supervision  of  their 
condition  and  management.  Travelers  may  be 
very  sure  that  if  they  are  not  alert  and  watchful 
the  companies  will  not  be.  "Whoever  trpsts 
himself  to  a  train  should  do  all  he  can  to  insure 
his  own  safety,  and  that  of  his  neighbors,  by 
reporting  every  instance  of  negligence  and  mis- 
management, not  merely  to  the  railroad-office 
but  to  the  papers.

THE  STATE  OF  PARTIES. 

For  the  first  time  there  are  no  political  par- 
tics  in  this  country.  In  Vermont  the  Union 
Convention  pronounces  for  equal  suffrage  in  the 
reorganized  States,  and  heartily  supports  the 
President.  In  the  same  State  the  "Democrat- 
man,  denounces  colored  suffrage,  and  heartily 
supports  the  President;  while  the  chief  com- 
mittee and  the  papers  of  the  party,  which  dur- 
ing the  last  political  campaign  slandered  Mr. 
Johnson  with  unparalleled  ferocity,  and  advo- 
cated against  him  the  election  of  a  candidate 
who  believed  in  the  right  of  secession,  now  wait 
in  trembling  hope  that  the  President  may  not 
prove  to  be  the  mau  they  believed  him  to  be. 
This  state  of  affairs  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the 
unprecedented  condition  of  the  country  requires 
that  the  policy  of  the  Administration  should, 
for  the  present,  be  tentative,  and  not  positive. 

Our  late  party  divisions  were  upon  the  ques- 
tion of  slavery.  The  Democratic  party,  under 
a  plea  of  State  rights,  was  the  apologist,  defend- 
er, and  extender  of  slavery.  The  Republican 
party,  leaving  the  question,  so  far  as  the  States 
were  concerned,  to  the  judgment  of  the  States 
iu  which  it  was  established,  claimed  that  in  the 
territory  belonging  to  the  United  States  the 
United  States  might  and  should  prohibit  it. 
The  question  was  vital.  It  was  really  a  ques- 
tion of  the  truth  of  our  principles  and  the  qual- 
ity of  our  government.  It  was  a  conflict  be- 
tween caste  and  equal  rights — between  privilege 
and,  the  people,  and  came,  01  necessity,  to  the 
final  decision  of  arms.  Tlte  war  abolished  slav- 
ery, and  freed  the  States  as  well  as  the  Territo- 
ries. It  abolished  also  the  parties  founded  upon 
the  question  of  slavery.  In  the  lull  after  the 
exhausting  exoitonieu.t  of  the  war  the  new  issues 
are  not  very  plainly  seen.    When  they  are  seen, 


and  when  the  Administration  has  declared  it- 
tell",  parlies  will  naturally  arise. 

Thus  far  the  administration  of  Mr.  Johxso? 
has  done  nothing  but  open  the  ports,  issue  th( 
amnesty,  and  appoint  provisional  governors. 
upon  conditi 


i  fixed  and  final  fact.     In  hi 
proclamations  appointing  governors  he  indicate: 
his  opinion  that  as  a  State  can  not  cease  to  exist, 
population  which  the  Constitu- 
e  of  secession  \--:-.-0'j- 
alone  be  allowed  tc 
,  upon  reorganization, 
sense  to  be  final.     Ir 
is  certainly  easy  for 
approve  the  course  of  the 
President.      But  to  speak  of  him   as  having 


"  Ttlerized* 

to  accuse  him  of  betrayal  of  the  principles  upon 

which  he  was  elected — is  mere  folly. 

Meanwhile  the  tactics  of  the  Copperhead  poli- 
ticians are  plain.  They  hope  that  the  political 
power  of  the  unorganized  States  will  be  intrusted 
exclusively  to  the  white  citizens;  that  hatred 
of  the  colored  citizens  will  unite  the  holders  of 
this  power  in  every  Southern  State;  that  with 
these  holders  the  various  fragments  of  opposition 
to  the  Union  party  in  the  Northern  and  Western 
States  will  combine;  and  that  the  President, 
favoring  reorganization  by  white  suffrage,  will  bo 
so  zealously  opposed  by  the  majority  of  the  Union 
party  as  to  he  thrown  into  the  hands  of  the  new 
alliance,  which  will  call  itself  the  old  Demo- 
cratic party,  claim  the  President  as  an  original 
Democrat,  and  run  for  luck. 

But  whatever  the  politicians  may  propose, 
there  is  no  doubt  that  the  people  of  this  country 
will  take  whatever  measures  they  shall  think 
necessary  to  secure  permanently  the  peace  which 
they  have  won.  They  will  not  allow  any  theory 
of  State  rights  to  interfere  with  the  national 
unity  and  welfare ;  and  having  learned  by  sharp

THE  BLESSED  INVENTION  OF

The  old  mole  is  working  in  the  earth  pretty 
ist.     "  In  Georgia,"  writes  a  correspondent  of 
the  New  York   Times,    "the  rebel   Governor 
s  and  his  friends  are  laboring  to  obtain 
1  of  the  State  government  in  order  to  se- 
cure the  payment  of  the  815,000,000  of  bonds 
while  in  rebellion.     This  is  a  condition 

only  to  be  defeated  by  the  appointment  of  a 
military  Governor  intensely  and  uncondition- 
ally loyal  and  incorruptible."

"be  military  expenses  of  the  United  States 
will  immediately  disappear?  Will  Governor 
n  and  his  friends  make  a  loyal  State  of 
Georgia?  Is  it  not,  upon  the  whole,  wiser  and 
tper  not  to  have  any  State  of  Georgia  for

Let  us  say  merely  that  it  is  asleep.  Is  it,  then, 
worth  while  under  such  circumstances  to  awaken 
it  just  now? 

That  is  the  very  question  now  to  be  answered. 
If  Governor  Brown  and  his  friends  do  obtain

Connecticut,  arrived  at  St.  George's,  Bermuda, 
and  the  pilot  showed  him  a  circular  of  her  Bri- 
tannic Majesty  ordering  all  Federal  or  Confed- 


Captain  Boggs  anchored  where  he  chose.  The 
next  day  he  was  invited,  by  a  gun-boat,  to  call 
upon  the  Governor.  The  Governor  asked  him 
if  he  had  not  seen  the  Queen's  circular.  Captain 
Boggs  replied  that  he  had  seen  a  circalar  di- 
recting that  all  Federal  or  Confederate  vessels 
should  anchor  in  a  certain  spot;  «  but,  as  I  am 
in  command  of  neither  of  them,  I  took  the  lib- 
erty to  use  my  own  discretion."  The  Governor, 
With   a   face  of   blank  astonishment,  asked: 


"What  do  yon  command?"  And  the  true- 
hearted  and  clear  headed  sailor  replied,  "I  have

Captain  Boggs  understands  distinctlv  that  the 
United  States  are  not  a  league,  a  federation,  or 
a  confederation,  but  a  nation.  They  are  indis- 
solubly  united  into  one  people,  and  no  State  or 

of  citizens,  can  permanently  disturb  that  unity. 
General  Grant  is  not  a  Federal  officer,  he  is' a 
United  States  officer.  Andrew  Johnson  is 
not  the  Federal  President,  he  is  President  of  the 
United  States.  It  was  convenient  and  cu 
in  the  English  Government  to  assume  an  a 
plished  separation  by  describing  the  Government 
of  the  United  States  as  the  Federal,  and  the  re- 
bellion as  the  Confederate  power.  It  was  as  if, 
in  case  of  a  British  rebellion  in  Kent  or  York- 
shire,  the  British  Government  should  be  sys- 
tematically called  by  us,  or  any  "neutral"  coun- 


rebcls  as  the  Government  in  Kent.

A  CAPTURED  BATTLE-FLAG. 

Stained  with  the  smoke  of  battle, 

And  seamed  with  the  battle's  scars, 
Is  this  flag  of  the  great  Rebellion, 

With  the  flaunting  rebel  bars— 
This  flag  which  was  held  by  traitors 

More  dear  than  the  stripes  and  stars. 
Seamed  and  smoke-stained  and  tattered 

By  the  shrieking  shot  and  shell, 
What  tales  of  the  gory  conflict 

Do  its  torn  folds  mutely.,  tell, 
Of  the  rush  and  roar  of  battle, 

And  the  brave  who  round  it  fell !

What  joy  be  east  in  the  balance 

With  the  weight  of  bitter  tears  ?

As  only  the  brave  may  fight, 
But  all  in  vain  was  their  valor, 

For  the  Lord  was  with  the  Right— 


'Mid  the  battle's  fiery  blast — 
This  flag  of  the  Southern  traitor 

Is  a  thing  of  the  buried  Past; 
And  the  cause  which  warr'd  with  Freedom 

Has  fall'n  to  earth  at  last. 
But  the  flag  of  the  glorious  Union 

Shall  float  o'er  the  land  of  the  brave, 
From  the  shores  of  the  blue  Atlantic 

To  the  far  Pacific's  wave, 
O'er  Liberty's  rock-bound  cradle

THE  SOLDIERS  NATIONAL  CEMETERY   AT   GLiTYftDL'UG,  PI.VVSYI.VANI  \. 


July  15,  1805.] 


HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


The  fine  band  of  the Highlanders  was  playing 

in  the  Eden  Gardens,  where  natives  were  selling 
ro-cs  at  an  anna  a  hu.icb,  and  numbers  of  fair  but 
r,,].-  !■  ngli-h  children  were  playing  with  their  dark 
bearers  and  ayahs,  or   huying   the  ingenious  toys 


of  Fort  William  and 
s  the  phrase  is,  found 


ourselves  in  comparative  quiet. 
']  he  syces  lighted  the  lamps,  as 


cunistances  connected  with  the  rising  at  Sealkote. 

"There  was  a  Hindoo  sepoy"  (he  said),'  "whose 
name  I  forget,  to  whom  our  surgeon  had  been  very 
kind  when  in  hospital,  who  professed  to  be  in  our 
interests,  and  gave  us  information  about  the  feeling 
and  intentions  of  the  native  regiments.  We  en- 
tirely conlided  in  him,  and  when  at  last  the  villains

ourselves  in  a  kitchen  apart  from  the  military  lines,

left  for  Delhi  "ho  would  return  and  assist  us  to  es-

We 


were,  of  course,  well-armed,  but  if  we  were  discov- 
ered, wo  knew  thnt  any  resistance  we  could  oiler 
■would  soon  be  overcome.  At  last  evening  came, 
nnd  we  heard  low  voices  near  the  place  of  our  con- 
cealment. I  mounted  on  a  table  with  a  revolver  in 
my  hand,  but  on  looking  through  a  window  I  whis- 
pered to  those  below  that  it  was  all  right,  for  that 

friendly  sepoy.  I  was  on  the  point  of  addressing 
him  when  I  heard  him  say  to  his  companion,  '  There, 
Abdul,  the  dogs  are  hidden,  thinking  that  I  would 
be  faithful  to  their  salt;  they  have  trusted  in  me, 
but  their  raj  is  over.  Call  our  brothers,  Abdul,  and 
-  let  us  complete  our  work  before  dark." 

"Betrayed  and  placed  in  our  slaughter-house  by 
the  butcher,  what  could  we  do?  I  could  certainly 
fire,  but  then  the  report  might  be  heard.  There  was, 
however,  no  time  to  be  lost ;  I  steadied  my  hand  on 
the  window-sill  and  tired  twice  in  rapid  succession. 
Thev  both  fell;  dead,  I  have  little  doubt,  and  we 
were  once  more  comparatively  secure.  That  night 
we  made  our  escape,  and  after  an  exciting  journey 
reached  Unihalla  in  safety.  I  always 
myself  on  having  wreaked  such  speedy 
on  that  traitorous  scoundrel." 

By  this  time  we  were  passing  the  eat!

journed to  the  dining-room.  I  remembered  after- 
ward that  the  bearer  went  into  my  bath-room. 
The  dinner  passed  off  very  pleasantly,  as  small 
dinners  in  India  generally  do,  succeeding  where 
"  hurra  khanas,"  or  grand  dinner-parties,  often  fail. 
The  heat  had  been  very  oppressive,  but  a  dust- 
storm,  followed  by  a  heavy  shower,  had  cooled  the 
air;  and  when,  after  dessert,  ladies  and  gentlemen 
leaving  the  table  together  according  to  Indian  eti- 

could  of  a  display  of  fire-works  in  the  Eden  Gar-

every  thing  in  it,  robbers  included,  over  the  effem-

ence  I  could  have  a  view  of  the  intruder  before 

could  see  me.     Almost  immediately  the  shutter

Example  is,  however,  better  than  dissertation, 
and  a  few  specimens  from  the  mas3  are  here  culled 
and  set  before  the  reader. 

The  following  has  a  savor  of  the  Arabian  Nights : 

Once  upon  a  time  there  was  a  good  man,  full  of 

love  and  charity,  but  in  great  poverty.     There  came 

r  of  frightful  scarcity,  and  the  poor  man  lived 


that  the  superstition  attaching  to  certain  kinds  01 
burial  as  means  to  prevent  ghosts  from  walking  is 
very  ancient.  Here,  it  is  a  cane-mat  which  keeps 
the  dead  quiet.  In  some  countries  the  thumbs  and 
toes  of  the  corpse  are  tied  with  the  same  intention ; 
and  there  is  good  reason  for  believing  that  the  hor- 
rible ceremonies  once  used  in  England  at  the  inter- 
ment of  suicides,  who  were  hud  in  the  centre  of  four 
cross  roads,  with  a  stake  driven  through  the  body, 
and  a  pile  of  stones  heaped  above  it,  betokened  less 
abhorrence  of  the  act  than  systematic  precautions  to 
prevent  the  deceased  from  walking  as  a  vampire. 

The  legends  which  are  grouped  around  several 
great  Scriptural  names  are  very  curious,  and,  as 
might  be  expected,  especial  prominence  is  given  to 
Abraham,  Moses,  and  Solomon.     Here  is  a  tale  of

Personality  is  a  very  prominent  element  in  the 
Talmud,  probably  in  consequence  of  its  character 
as  a  law-book.  It  seldom  advances  a  precept  or 
lays  down  a  moral  deduction  without  quoting  tho 
authority  and  example  of  Bome  eminent  Rabbi,  and 
it  thus  teems  with  anecdotes,  always  curious  and 
often  pithy.  A  specimen  or  two  of  this  class  of 
Btory  will  suffice  :  Rabbi  Tanchum  was  once  asked 
whether  it  was  lawful  to  put  out  a  candle  on  the 
Sabbath-day,  if  it  chanced  to  inconvenience  a  sick 
person.  "What  a  question!"  answered  he.  "A 
burning  candle  is  a  light,  no  doubt,  but  the  soul  of 
man  is  more,  for  it  is  a  light  from  heaven.  Is  it 
not  then  better  to  quench  an  earthly  light  than  a 
heavenly  one?"

Bat  Slav  Safra.  on  reconsidering  the  mailer,  re- 
solved to  give  the  gem  for  tho  price  which  he  had

while  he  was  standing  intent  in  prayer.  "Sir," 
said  they,  "shall  we  come  to  an  agreement?  Will 
you  give  the  stone  for  the  price  offered  ?"  Rav  Sa- 
fra was  silent.  "Well,  well,  do  not  be  angry,  we 
will  give  two  pieces  more."    Rav  Safra  was  still  m-

Another  and  not  less  important  prerequisite 
to  the  establishment  of  railroad  credit  on  a 
sound  basis  is  a  higher  stendard  of  mercantile 
honor  among  ntilroad  directors.  At  present 
many  leading  railway  directors  are  among  the 
most  active,  speculators  in  llieir  own  stocks— 


demption  in  coin,  they  rendered  at  least  this 

using  their  influence  as  directors  to  insure  the 

service— they  furnished  the  country  with  what 

success  of  their  private  speculations.     This  is 

it  needed  most — capital ;  may  this  account  for 

all  wrong.     A  railway  director  is  a  trustee  of 

the  increase  of  ioo  per  cent,  in  our  internal 

trade  in  four  years  ?     There  is  one  fact  which 

tends  strongly  to  confirm  this  view.     The  great

policy?     It 

s  a  peculiarity 

of  Brit- 

its  chief  praises,  that  it  avoids  principles.  It 
deals  with  expediencies  and  policies.  A  natu- 
ral result  is,  that  skillful  and  sagacious  men  give 
names  to  parties  which  have  no  other  policy 
than  the  shrewdness  of  the  leader  may  dic- 
tate as  questions  arise.  This  is  especially  the 
case  at  the  present  time.  Lord  Palmerston  is 
technically  a  Whig,  and  his  party  is,  in  a  loose 
general  sense,  tho  liberal  party.  But  the  true 
liberals,  Bright  and  Porster  in  Parliament, 
Mill  and  Tom  Hoohes,  imd  Goldwin  Smith 
out  of  Parliament,  feel  toward  Palmerston 
very  much  as  the  ardent  Tribune  party  in  this 
country  feel  toward  Mr.  TnuRLow  Weed.  The 
Palmerston  policy  has  been  a  happy-go-lucky 
waiting  upon  Providence.  It  may  be  accu- 
rately described  as  Micawberism,  or  a  good- 
humored  disbelief  in  every  thing  and  a  cheerful 
waiting  for  what  may  turn  np.  Now  Wilkots 
Micawber  in  private  life  is  an  amnsiug  but 
not.  a  respectable  figure.  In  public  life  ho  be- 
comes a  doubtful  aud  dangerous  one.  The  po- 
sition of  England  during  and  since  the  Crimean 
war  is  not  noble  or  dignified.  The  policy  of 
peace  at  any  price  may  very  easily  compel  a 
nation,  like  an  individual,  to  buy  quiet  with 
honor.  Palmerston  has  been  a  Voltaire  in 
politics.  Compared  with  Peel,  who  had  pro- 
found sagacity  and  Saxon  pluck  so  that  he  dared 
to  change  Mb  whole  policy— or  with  Canning, 
who  had  the  fine  genius  of  a  statesman,  Pal- 


tbc  gicnt  Minister  who  made  England  more  ter- 
rible and  more  glorious."  It  could  only  say  of 
him,  "This  pleasant  gentleman  luckily  tided  us 
over  some  rough  places." 

There  is  a  general  conviction  that  Mr.  Glad- 
stone is  expecting  to  step  into  Padmeston's 
shoes.  But  Mr.  Gladstone,  a  most  accom- 
plished scholar,  a  man  of  ample  public  expe- 

and'the  finest  orator  in  England,  is  a  very  dif- 
ferent person  from  Lord  Palmerston.  Mr. 
Gladstone  believes  something,  in  the  first  place. 
He  has  some  clear  perception  of  the  value  of 
principles,  in  the  second.  But  he  is  timid, 
ambitious,  and  a  High  Churchman,  with  a  cer- 
tain intellectual  fastidiousness  which  incapaci- 
tates him  from  inspiring  deep  popular  enthusi- 
asm. At  present  he  is  known  as  a  Peelite,  or 
liberal  of  a  certain  school,  and  is  the  member 

Tory  constituency  finds  it  a  little  difficult  to 
reconcile  Mr.  Gladstone  as  their  representa- 
tive with  Lord  Derbt,  the  Tory  chief,  as  their 
Chancellor.  Vigorous  efforts  are  making  to  un- 
seat him,  but  his  friends  feel  sure  that  they  have 


Should  Mr.  Gladstone  come  into  power  as 
the  successor  of  Lord  Palmerston,  or  as  the 
leader  of  the  House  of  Commons' in  a  Ministry 
with  Earl  lirssLLL  as  chief,  we  have  no  reason 
to  fear  that  the  British  foreign  policy,  so  far  as 
we  are  concerned,  will  be  changed.  Mr.  Glad- 
stone did  indeed  speak  of  Jefferson  Davis  as 
having  "created  a  nation."     But  his  opinion

He  now  frankly  confesses  his  mistake.  He  is 
willing  to  learn,  and  we  have  taught  the  mem- 
ber for  Oxford  a  lesson  which  the  leader  of  the 
Commons  or  the  Prime  Minister  of  England  is 
not  likely  to  forget.

THE  INEFFICACY  OF  BLAENEY. 

FiBMNE83  is  entirely  consistent  with  concilia-

no  wanton  provocation  of  any  kind  any  where. 
It  would  be  truly  delightful  that  all  men  should 
dwell  together  in  unity.  We  should  gladly  re- 
cord, and  our  friends  and  co-laborers,  the  artists 
of  this  paper,  would  illustrate  with  their  utmost 
skill,  the  pleasing  fact  that  lions   and

defended  it  on  every  ground.  Slavery  has  been 
abolished.  Do  they  believe  it  to  be  wrong? 
South  Carolina  shook  her  fist  at  the  Union  more 
than  thirty  years  ago.  Congress  compromised 
the  difficulty.  Has  South  Carolina  ever  been 
loyal  since  that  time  ?  She  has  now  endeavored 
to  achieve  what  she  then  threatened.  The  fail- 
ure is  palpable.     Is  the  feeling  changed  ? 

It  is  idle  to  assume  that  the  exasperation,  the 
studied  and  traditional  jealousy  and  hate  of  the 
slave  interest  toward  the  Union,  which  has  been 
sedulously  fostered  for  thirty  years,  has  sudde* 
ly  disappeared  because  the  Union  has  proved  it>- 
self  to  be  tho  stronger.  If  tho  brain  that  settles 
is  not  as  strong  and  firm  as  the  sword  that  sub- 
dues, tho  vanquished  win  the  victory.  And  it 
should  be  clearly  understood  that  reference  to 
history  is  not  recrimination.  If,  for  instance, 
we  refer,  as  we  did  recently,  to  the  views  of 
Mr.  Boyce,  of  South  Carolina,  five  years  ago, 
wo  do  it  not  from  ;>■  -  hostility  to  Mr.  Boyce, 
but  from  the  most  enduring  hostility  to  the  spir- 
it in  which  he  was  educated,  and  from  a  pro- 
found conviction  that  political  power  should  be 
very  guardedly  confided  to  such  hands.  Be- 
lieving that  the  spirit  of  which  he  was  an  illus- 
tration— the  spirit  of  Calhoun,  of  Jefferson 
Davis,  of  Toombs,  Wigfall,  Breckinridge, 
and  Mason— is  hateful  to  the  genius  of  equal 
rights  and  fatal  to  American  institutions,  we 
shall  hold  it  to  be  a  sacred  duty  to  expose  it  al- 
ways and  as  plainly  as  we  can.  It  blinded  our 
fathers,  and  it  will  try  to  blind  their*  children. 
It  betrayed  us  four  years  ago,  and  it  will  betray 
us  again  whenever  it  can.  It  is  a  spirit  which 
eighty-five  years  of  peace  and  four  years  of  war 
have  taught  us  is  implacable,  and  the  American 
people  are  fools  if  they  try  to  propitiate  it. 

We  trust,  therefore,  that,  while  we  are  all 
grateful  for  "the  crowning  mercy"  of  the  defeat 
of  this  spirit  in  the  field,  we  shall  be  only  the 
more  resolved  that  it  shall  be  equally  defeated 
at  the  polls  and  in  Congress.  But  this  result 
will  not  be  accomplished  by  mere  exultation. 
It  is  not  very  sagacious  to  shout,  "They're 
whipped,  and  they  know  it.  They'll  give  no 
more  trouble,"  We  remember  that,  on  the 
9th  of  May,  1864,  General  Butler  telegraphed 
to  Secretary  Stanton,  "Lieutenant -General 
Gbant  will  not  be  troubled  with  any  further 

forces."     It  was  General  Butler's  sincere  con- 

gard  was  marching  by  his  flank,  and  did  rein- 
force Lee.  So  when  we  are  disposed  to  say 
that  the  late  rebels  entirely  accept  the  situa- 
tion, and  are  only  anxious  to  be  reconciled  to 
the  Government  aud  kiss  and  make  friends,  let

done  than  that  they  should  be  done  speedily. 
Industrial  prosperity  we  have  had  before,  and  it 
did  not  save  us.     If  we  rebuild  that  prosperity 


hurriedly  and  unwisely  it  will  topple  down 
again  in  the  same  ruin.  It  is  unnecessary,  as 
it  is  wrong,  uselessly  to  call  hard  names.  But

A  CONFUSED  GOVERNOR. 

Hon.  James  Johnson,  Provisional  Governor 
of  the  United  States  for  the  State  of  Georgia, 
has  recently  made  a  speech  at  Savannah.  The 
Governor  says  that  he  has  been  appointed  sim- 
ply to  enable  the  Georgians  to  form  a  govern- 
ment. It  is  very  fortunate  that  he  is  to  do  no 
more,  as  he  has  evidently  a  very  confused  con- 
ception of  the  situation. 

Thus  the  Governor  says  that  "the  peoplo  of 
the  Confederate  States  find  themselves  without 
government."  Will  the  Governor  explain  what 
are  "  the  Confederate  States,"  and  who  are  their 
people? 

He  adds  that  "Wai  ' 
United  States  and  the 
ernor  inform  us  where  "the  South"  i 
which  he  thus  describes  as  a  power 


Will  the  Gov- 


Governor  Johnson  also  says :  ' '  The  slaves, 
upon  the  surrender  of  our  armies,  were  captured 
legally,  if  not  actually."  Mr.  Johnson  is  a 
citizen  of  the  United  States.  His  authority  as 
Governor  is  derived  from  the  United  Suite-;.  It 
is  supported  by  the  army  of  the  United  States. 
When,  therefore,  he  speaks  of  the  surrender 'of 
"our"  armies,  what  does  he  mean?  Does  he,

GARDNER'S  PHOTOGRAPHS. 

The  present  perfection  of  the  art  of  photog- 
raphy enables  an  illustrated  paper  like  ours  to 
depict  persons  and  events  with  the  utmost  pre- 
cision. During  the  war,  now  happily  ended,  we 
have  been  in  the  daily  receipt  of  the  greatest 
variety  of  views  and  portraits  from  all  the  ar- 


sketches  of  our  artists  to  construct  a  truly  exact 

and  living  history  of  the  tim

For  so  fair  my  dream  had  grown

How  tho  silent  day  had  flown.

And  the  night  came  dark  and  chill,

There  was  nothing  but  glistening  dew-dreps 
Remained  of  my  dream  to-day.

pia, with  a  magnificent  scorn  upon  her  lip  that 

would  have  become  an  offended  goddess. 

"For  Italy." 

She  clasped  her  hands  together  in  a  wild,  pas- 
sionate way,  and  went  over  to  the  window. 

"For   Italy,"  repeated   Colonna,    solemnly. 
"For  the  cause  to  which  I  '

they  were  both  silent.      Then  Colonna  spoke 

"With  money  now  at  our  command,"  he 
said,  "success. would  be  certain.  Without  it, 
nothing  but  failure  awaits  us.  Twenty-five 
thousand  ponnds,  judiciously  spent,  would  equip 
six  thousand  men;  and  with  six  thousand  at

ison  with  results  such  as  these?  What  is  any 
private  interest,  when  valued  against  the  honor 
and  freedom  of  a  great  country?" 

Again  Olimpia  was  silent. 

"And  then,"  pursued  ho  eagerly,  "with  a 
Roman  senate  at  the  Capitol,  and  a  Dictator  at 
the  head  of  the  Roman  legions,  we  shall  do  that 
which  France  and  Sardinia  together  failed  of 
accomplishing.  We  shall  expel  the  Austrian 
from  the  soil,  and  buy  back  Venctia  with  our 
blood!" 

Olimpia  turned  at  last.  Her  face  was  very 
pale,  and  the  burnished  gold  of  her  hair  crowned 
her  in  ihe  sunlight  like  a  glory.

THE  MONEOE  DOCTRINE. 

THERE  seems  to  be  a  vague  public  impres- 
sion that  the  Monroe  doctrine  is  a  restless 
fury  that  will  not  cease  to  hurry  us  until  we 
warn  France  off  the  continent  or  drive  her  away. 
Mr.  Montgomery  Blair,  who  is  not  a  very  wise 
man,  denounces  the  Government  for  its  servility 
to  the  French  Emperor.  Mr.  Harlan,  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Interior,  wishes  that  it  might  be 


stepping  about  in  a 
highly  truculent  mood,  and,  like  the  Irishman, 
requesting  somebody  for  the  love  of  Heaven  to 
Jo  him  the  favor  of  treading  upon  the  tail  of  his 
coat.  What  then  is  the  Monroe  doctrine,  and 
in  what  sense  is  it  binding  upon  the  United 
Males  Government? 

The  Monroe  doctrine  was  an  executive  decla- 
ration never  confirmed  by  Congress.  It  was 
made  at  the  instance  of  Mr.  Canning,  the  Brit- 
ish Prime  Miuister,  to  meet  a  certain  emergency, 
which  was  the  suspected  intention  of  the  Holy 
Alliance  to  restore  forcibly  to  Spain  the  Ameri- 
can coffinies  which  had  revolted  and  had  de- 
clared their  independence.  In  the  course  of 
the  message  in  which  President  Monbok  alluded 
to  the  subject,  he  said  that  any  European  inter- 
position to  control  the  destiny  of  those  colonies 
would  be  viewed  as  the  sign  of  an  unfriendly 
disposition  toward  the  United  States.     He  also 

i-vutiiitiits"  were  not  to  be  henceforth 
Sidoi.vts  fur  European  colonization. 
This  was  a  declaration  which,  as

This  is  really  the  Monroe  doctrine,  as  it  is 
expounded  in  popular  speeches  and  journals. 
The  plea  is,  that  our  republican  institutions 
are  imperiled  by  the  influence  of  a  neighboring 
monarchy.     But  is  republicanism  such  a  puny

The  Monroe  doctrine,  £ 
preached,  is  merely  the  inf 
the  Ostend  Manifesto— that 
please  with  our  neighbors,  even  ro  aDSoromg 
them.  And  this  is  logical.  If  we  have  a  right

,  we  have  an  equal  right  to  believe  the 
domestic  government  there.  If,  for 
our  security,  we  may  overthrow  the  one,  we  may 
destroy  the  other.  All  the  subsequent  steps 
would  be  easy;  and  we  naturally  find  that  the

naturally  to  that  great  family  of  States  of  which 
the  Union  is  the  providential  nursery."  ','1

exquisitely  humorous 
It  is  exactly 
heard  for  the  last  twenty  years.  When  it 
was  perfectly  evident  that  the  spirit  and  policy 
of  slavery  were  endangering  the  welfare  of  the 
country,  a  firm  and  vigorous  protest  was  raised 
by  sagacious  citizens  who  did  not  mean  to  con- 
nive, under  any  pretense  whatever,  at  the  na- 
tional ruin.  Then  came  the  answering  shout 
from  the  party  of  slavery  :  "  Let  us  alone.  It 
is  our  affair.  We  know  the  negroes  and  un- 
derstand how  to  manage  them.  Let  us  alone." 
And  many  honest  minds  were  deceived  by  the 
appeal. 

Then  came  secession.  The  men  who  had 
cried  so  lustily  "Let  us  alone"  while  they  were 
plotting,   cried  still   more    solemnly  "Let  us 

crime.     Their  aimed  effort  has  been  abortive 
but  bloody.     It  is  necessary  for  them  to  recur 

same  old  cry,  "Let  us  alone.     Let  us  alone." 

And  who  echo  this  cry?  Those  who  in 
18C0  said  that  the  Government  had  no  right  to 
maintain  itself  by  arms.     Those  who  in  1861 


j  Government  ought  t 


usly 
wished    to    see 


loyal  States,  and  tl 
compromise  with  treason  and  conciliate  rebell- 
ion. Those  who  in  18G2  said  th'at  our  erring 
sisters  should  be  allowed  to  depart  in  peace. 
Those  who  in  1863  stimulated  a  counter-revolu- 
tion. Those  who  in  18G4  went  to  Chicago  and 
declared  the  war  a  failure.  Those  who  at  the 
end  of  1864  were  politically  annihilated  by  the 
American  people  at  the  polls. 

What  is  the  object  of  the  cry  ?  The  over- 
throw of  the  Administration  and  the  policy 
which  directed  the  war,  and  the  return  to  power 
of  that  alliance  of  Southern  leaders  and  North- 
ern followers  which  brought  on  the  war.  That 
alliance,  we  are  told,  secured  peace  to  the  coun- 
try. Yes,  it  secured  peace  at  the  price  of  na- 
tional honor  and  by  delaying  a  struggle  which 
delay  embittered  a  thousand-fold.  It  secured 
peace  as  a  man  secures  solvency  by  paying  fifty 
per  cent,  a  day  for  the  money  he  borrows.  It 
secured  peace  as  he  does  who  puts  his  nose  into 
the  fingers  of  a  bully  and  obsequiously  succumbs 
to  his  kicks.  And  when  the  peace  was  broken, 
who  broke  it?  When  war  began,  who  began 
it?  Who  justified  those  who  began  it ?  Who 
hoped  and  worked  for  their  success?  Those 
who  now  tell  us  that  while  they  had  the  power 
they  kept  the  peace.  Those  who  we  know  when 
they  lost  the  power  broke  the  peace.  They 
gave  the  country  peace  as  a  highwayman  gives 
his  victim  life,  on  condition  of  obedience.  "  Just 
give  us  power  again,  fellow-citizens,"  they  cry, 
"and  you  will  see  how  we  will  keep  the  peace." 
Their  fellow-citizens  have  already  seen.  Enongh 
is  as  good  as  a  feast. 

The  late  rebels  say  that  they  know  the  negroes 
a  great  deal  better  than  any  body  else.  How 
have  they  proved  it?  By  enslaving  thera  with 
unparalleled  barbarity.  By  outraging  every  hu- 
man right  and  feeling.  By  so  treating  them 
that,  when  the  war  came,  every  one  of  the  pea- 


friends.  A  society  which  is  so  ignorant  of  hu- 
man nature,  of  history,  of  divine  justice,  and  of 
the  laws  of  political  economy  as  to  suppose  it 
can  treat  half  of  its  members  as  brutes  without 
danger  to  the  general  welfare,  when  its  foolish 
assumption  has  ended  in  its  own  blood  and  ruin, 
might  at  least  affect  modesty  of  opinion  if  it 
does  not  feel  it.    There  was  never  a  class  in  the 

slaveholding  class  at  the  South  knows  of  the 
slaves.  Its  ignorance  has  cost  us  a  civil  war ; 
but  it  has  also  fortunately  apprised  us  that  such 
ignorance  is  a  mortal  peril. 

And  what  are  the  late  slaveholding  class  now 
doing  to  show  us  how  perfectly  they  understand 
the  negroes?  The  Southern  States  are  para- 
lyzed. They  can  be  reinvigorated  only  by  la- 
bor. The  negroes  are  the  laboring  population. 
They  are  native  to  the  soil  and  the  climate,  and 
they  are  free.  Common  sense  indicates  the  only 
policy.  The  inevitable  facts  of  the  case  should 
be  cordially  accepted.  Liberal  wages  should  bo 
paid.  Honest  contracts  made.  Just  measures 
adopted  to  provide  education  and  equal  rights 
for  the  most  substantial  part  of  the  population. 
In  a  word,  the  public  prosperity  should  bo  se- 
cured and  public  peril  avoided  by  the  simplest 
and  most  obvious  equity.  But,  instead  of  this, 
farmers  are  offering  five  dollars  a  month  to  free- 
men who,  as  slaves,  could  hire  themselves  and 
make  fifteen  dollars  a  month.  White  people 
are  gravely  enacting  that  colored  people  shall

PREMIUM  ON  GOLD. 


Gold  continues  rather  to  rise  than  fall.  The 
sanguine  people  who  expected  to  see  it  below 
i'jo  before  midsummer  have  been  disappointed. 
It  is  higher  now  than  it  was  before  Johnston 
surrendered. 

A  number  of  theories  have  been  set  afloat  to 
le  firmness  of*the  market.     A  fa- 


i  as  £  @  i  per 

of  the  market 
past  sixty  days  is 
notorious.  But  it  is  not  the  case  now.  On 
Friday  and  Saturday  last  cash  gold  was  abund- 
ant. Many  holders  were  unable  to  lend  their 
gold  at  all.  Whatever  effort  may  have  been 
heretofore  made  by  the  Bulls  in  gold  to  put  up 
the  price  by  creating  an  artificial  scarcity,  there 
is  no  such  effort  at  present.  The  advance  in 
the  premium  is  sustained  by  other  causes. 

Much  is  due,  no  doubt,  to  the  accumulation 
of  826,000,000  of  gold  in  the  Sub-treasury. 
More  than  half  the  specie  in  the  city  is  locked 
up  in  the  vaults  of  the  Government,  and  the 
supply  available  for  importers  is  thus  largely  re- 
duced. This,  when  the  duties  average  $4oo,ooo 
a  day,  as  at  present,  will  of  itself  justify  consid- 
erable firmness  in  the  market.  The  banks  have 
been  parading  for  some  time  a  specie  average 
of  about  $20,000,000— last  Monday   it  was 


ithe  ! 


counts  all  the  specie  it  holds,  while  other  banks 
count  certified  checks  on  the  State  Bank  as  coin, 
the  real  average  is  probably  not  higher  than 
$i5,ooo,ooo.  A  drain  of  $1,000,000  a  week 
upon  this  small  fund  will  naturally  tell,  even  in 
the  absence  of  an  export  demand. 

Appeals  are  daily  made  to  Secretary  M'Cux- 
loch  to  deplete  the  Sub-treasury  of  its  gold. 
Two  precedents  light  his  path.  His  two  prede- 
cessors, fearful  of  the  effects  of  large  accumula- 
tions of  gold  in  the  Sub-treasury,  anticipated 
the  payment  of  the  coupons  on  the  Five-Twenty 
Bonds.  But  the  device  failed.  People  did  not 
want  their  money  before  it  was  due.  In  our 
market,  bonds  with  one  coupon  short  were  dif- 
ficult of  sale;  and  foreigners  would  not  remit 
their  coupons  before  maturity.  Less  than  ten 
per  cent,  of  the  anticipated  coupons  were  pre- 
sented for  payment  before  the  regular  day.  The 
other  method  of  depleting  the  Treasury  vaults 
—an  open*  sale  of  the  gold— was  tried  by  Mr.

PEACE  AND  WAB. 


in  the  Held  against  the  authority  of  the  Govern- 
ment, we  are  at  peace.  The  closing  of  Ford's 
theatre  by  a  simple  order  of  the  Secretary  of 
War  is  denounced  by  those  who  take  this  view 
as  a  most  dangerous  blow  at  the  liberties  of  the 
citizen  in  a  time  of  peace.  The  trial  of  the 
murderers  of  the  President  by  a  military  tril 
in  a  time  of  peace  was  also  vehemently 
dcnincd  as  an  enormous  crime  against  the  pub- 
lic liberty,     Are  we  at  war?  exclaim  the  "

States,  and  await  such  steps  as  those  States  might 
choose  to  take.     But  if  it  did  that  it  would 
render  its  hold  upon  those  States  to  the  C

arbitrary  power  which  the  Constitution  confides 
to  it  in  times  of  great  public  disorder,  we  have 
certainly  no  disposition  to  assail  it  now  as  if  it 
were  striking  at  the  public  liberty.  The  sense 
of  liberty  is  not  so  easily  destroyed  as  some  of 
our  friends  seem  to  imagine  ;  and  the  people 
who,  to  save  liberty,  have  patiently  borne  with 
its  occasional  necessary  restraint  during  the  last 
four  years  will  not  justify  an  intemperate  and 
ill-tempered  denunciation  of  a  faithful  public

What  hearty,  cordial  support  of  the  G< 
ment,  what  true  loyalty  to  the  Union  hav< 
developed  in  tho  recovered  States?     Virginia 
has  been  tolerably  racked  by  the  war,  but  the 
experiment  of  civil  government  fails  in  Norfolk, 

If,  then,  we  are  not  wholly  at  peace,  the  powers 

necessary,  and  the  Government  must  be  the  judge 
of  that  necessity.  That  in  every  instance  it  will 
decide  wisely  is  improbable.  Whether  it  may 
not  be  perilously  prolonging  the  military  condi- 
tion—whether  it  may  not  plead  military  neces- 
sity too  often,  are  proper  matters  of  argument 
and  warning.  But  you  have  no  right  to  accuse 
it  of  wanton  invasion  of  private  rights  —  you 
have  no  right  to  say,  as  the  Tribune  does,  that 
Mr.  Stanton  illegally  deprives  Mr.  Ford  of  the 
use  of  his  property,  unless  you  declare  that  the 
power  itself,  of  which  that  is  a  special  exercise,  is 
illegal,  upon  the  ground  that  war  having  ceased 
military  necessity  has  ceased  also.  But  upon 
what  other  plea  are  we  occupying  the  late  rebel 
States?  And  if  military  necessity  exists  at  all, 
the  Government  must  determine  where  it  exists. 
The  argument  is  precisely  that  of  Mr.  Lincoln 

of  Mibeas  corpus. 

The  present  danger  to  public  liberty  does  not 


peace.  It  is  very  desirable  that  we  should  not 
have  our  fine  sense  of  freedom  dulled  by  long 
submission  to  arbitrary  power.  It  is  of  the  ut- 
most importance  that  extraordinary-  precedents 
should  not  be  multiplied.  But  it  'is  still  more 
important  that  the  Government  of  the  United 


States  should  not

Against  any  mistaken  act  of  such  power  we 
tall  earnestly  protest  whenever  we  know  the 
icts.  Thus,  as  we  understand  it,  the  closing 
t  Ford's  theatre  was  unwise,  since  if  dan- 
i t  wore-  apprehended  it  would,  in  our  estima-

THE  ARGENTINE  WAE. 

Otm  placid  South  American  neighbors 
Argentine  Republic  suddenly  find  themselves  at 
war  with  Paraguay.  It  would  be  more  nccurati 
to  say  that  they  are  at  war  with  Lopez,  for  Lope: 
is  Paraguay.  Paraguay  is  the  estate  of  Lopez 
which  he  inherited  from  his  father,  who  received 
it  from  Dr.  Francia  the  Dictator.  The  million 
inhabitants  of  Paraguay  are  the  workmen  of  Lo- 
pez. He  is  the  only  merchant  in  the  country, 
and  every  producer  must  sell  to  him  at  his  rates 
under  pain  of  death.  Under  this  highly-pro- 
tective system  Lopez  is  naturally  the  richest 
man  in  Paraguay,  which  he  keeps  to  himself  a3 
a  man  keeps  his  private  box  under  lock  and  key. 
Paraguay  lies  at  the  foot  of  the  peninsula, 
formed  by  the  rivers  Paraguay  and  Parana, 
where  they  branch  from  the  River  de  la  Plata, 
or  the  Plate  River,  as  the  traders  call  it.  Lo- 
pez, having  some  difficulty  with  Brazil,  asked 
the  Argentine  Republic  to  allow  him  to  march 
troops  across  a  part  of  their  country  to  reach 
Brazil.  The  Republic  declined.  But  Brazil 
sailed  up  the  River  Plate  to  attack  Paraguay. 
The  Republic  declared  that  it  could  not  help  it, 
because  the  Plate  had  always  been  a  free  river. 
But  Lopez  resented  what  he  chose  to  consider 
aid  to  his  enemy,  and  notwithstanding  a  treaty 
which  bound  him  to  give  six  months'  notice  be- 
fore going  to  war,  he  has  advanced  an  army  into 
the  territory  of  the  Argentine  Republic,  which 
has  necessarily  declared  war,  and  which  is  now 
collecting  an  army  of  some  thirty  or  forty  thou- 
sand men,  with  a  contingent  of  five  thousand, 
from  its  little  neighbor  Uruguay,  and  some 
thirty  thousand  from  Brazil,  to  march  upon 
Lopez,  and  not  only  expel  him  from  the  conn- 
try,  but,  as  the  Declaration  says,  overthrow  his 
government,  although  the  Republic  emphatical- 
ly disclaims  all  intention  of  annexing  or  subduing 
Paraguay. 

Meanwhile  Lopez,  who  is  a  shrewd  man  of 
affairs,  and  who  has  a  standing  army  of  seventy 
thousand  men,  has  seized  the  first  move  and  is 
ready  for  his  enemies.  Paraguay,  as  we  said, 
may  be  figured  by  the  letter  V.  It  is  assailable 
only  along  the  rivers  which  bound  it  on  each 
side  ;  and  just  above  the  junction  of  those  rivers, 
or  the  point  of  the  V,  Lopez  has  erected  a  very 
strong  fort,  stretching  from  river  to  river,  and 
fully  commanding  both,  which  is  garrisoned  by 
ten  thousand  men,  and  commanded  by  the  skill- 
ful old  Hungarian  General  Goyon.  It  will  be 
a  very  difficult  task  to  dislodge  him  while  he 
has  his  compact  little  country  so  well  in  hand ; 
and  our  good  Argentine  friends  are  so  fond  of 
to-morrow  and  to-morrow,  that  we  do  not  an- 
ticipate a  very  speedy  end  of  the  war. 

What  does  Mr.  Montgomery  Blair  think 
that  the  Monroe  doctrine  demands  of  us  in  this 
state  of  things  ? 

Those  who  are  interested  to  know  the  present 
social  and  industrial  condition  and  promise  of 
the  Argentine  Republic  will  find  a  clear  and 
concise  statement  in  a  letter  of  M.  Le  Sarmi- 

lately  addressed  to  Mr.  Edward  F.  Davison, 
the  Argentine  Consul  in  New  York. 

BARNUM'S  MUSEUM. 


The  me- 
nagerie 

al."  The  aquaria  were  truly  beautiful  and  va!. 
nable.  The  temporary  "star-attractions,"  th< 
dwarfs,  the  Albinoes,  the  fat  women  and  chil- 
dren, etc.,  were  unfailing.  But  it  was  the 
combination  of  all,  and.  the  adverti.-ciueut  oi 
some  special  object,  which  made  the  charm. 

By  an  unparalleled  genius  for  advertising  Mr. 
Barnum  invested  the  queer  old  colhi  uoo  of 
trumpery  and  monsters  with  a  kind  of  glamour. 
The  Museum  itself  was  a  perpetual  disappoint- 
ment.  It  was  very  shabby.  The  visitor  was 
haunted  from  the 


Museum  burned, 


of  fire.  When 
few  days  since, 
one  of  the  few  interesting,  and  from  Halleck's 
lines  we  may  say  poetic,  buildings  in  New  York 
disappeared.  The  old  Walton  Mansion  in 
Franklin  Square,  the  house  in  which  Citizen  Ge- 
net married  the  daughter  of  Governor  George 
Clinton,  and  which  is  now  a  sailor  boarding- 
house,  and  the  hotel  at  the  corner  of  Broad  and 
Pearl  streets  in  which  General  Washington 
parted  with  his  officers,  are  two  of  the  piost 
noted  of  the  few  historic  buildings  remaining  in 
the  city.  They  may,  indeed,  be  accounted  chief 
mourners  at  the  departure  of  their  sprightly  and 
more  juvenile  companion,  Scodder's  Museum. 
There  was  no  building  so  well  known  in  the 
■city,  and  no  resort  so  permanently  popular  as 
Barnum's.  It  had  all  the  characteristics  of 
"a  big  show"  in  the  very  heart  of  the  metropo- 
lis. It  was  the  tent  of  the  village  green  en- 
larged, and  built  in  brick  instead  of  canvas.  Its 
music,  its  attractions,  its  whole  character,  were, 


that  he  was  humbugged.  But  his  curiosity  had 
been  excited.  Was  the  dwarf  really  so  small  ? 
Was  the  mermaid  actually  a  dried  monkey  with 
the  tail  of  a  sea  cod*?  Was  Joice  Hkth  truly 
made  of  India  rubber?  These  were  questions 
that  excited  the  popular  mind.  Mr.  Barnum 
had  the  knack  of  making  his  wares  the  town 
talk,  and  the  rest  followed.  The  baby-shows, 
the  dog-shows,  the  poultry-shows,  were  adver- 

iu  tho  things  themselves,  good  as  they  were :  it 
was  in  the  manager,  who  could  make  people  pay 
twenty-five  cents  to  ascertain  if  the  things  had 
merit.  And  such  reputation  and  consequent 
profits  increase  by  compound  interest.  The  pub- 
lic was  long  ago  persuaded  that  what  Barnum 
thought  worth  exhibiting  was  worth  seeing — not 
for  itself,  but  to  ascertain  why  he  thought  so. 

Besides,  there  was  a  certain  quality  in  Mr. 
Barnum's  management  which  deserved  suc- 
cess, and  that  was  the  fertility  of  his  invention. 
If  he  saw  a  poor  colored  idiot  in  the  Bowery,  he 
perceived  at  once  that  he  could  coin  money  by 
presenting  him  as  an  unknown  man,  or  animal, 
or  What-is-it  from  Central  Africa.  If  Fremont 
went  upon  an  expedition  to  strange  regions,  why 
should  not  the  Museum  receive  a  strange  animal 
from  that  quarter,  and  why  not  a  woolly  horse 
as  well  as  any  thing  else? 
moon  hoax  of  Mr.  Locke  had  b( 
during  Mr.  Barnum's  career,  and  a 
time  could  have  been  gained  before 
posed,  the  American  Museum  wouk 


having   all 


the   brown  quadrupeds 
external  characteristics  of  the 
bison,  but  more  diminutive  than  any  species  of 
the  bos  genus  in  our  natural  history;"  and  the 
other  animal  "of  bluish  lead  color  about  t" 
size  of  a  goat,  with  a  head  and  beard  like  hi 
and  a  single  horn  slightly  inclined  forward  fn 
the  perpendicular."     Indeed,  as  it  is,  we  ha 
always  wondered  that  Mr.  Barnum  never  hat 
specimen  of  that  single  horn.     His  public 
generous  and  confiding.     It  would  have  tak 
the  horn  without  winking.

The  Earl  turned,  in  some  confusion,  and  shook 
lnuids  with  his  lawyer. 

"  I  beg  your  pardon,  Trefalden,"  he  said,  hast- 
ily. "I  had  not  observed  you.  Won't  you  take 
a  run  with  us?  Ah  no— I  forgot.  You  are 
here  to-day  on  business;  but  we  shall  meet  at 
dinner.     You  will  find  your  cousin  in  the  dining- 


ible  to  her  alone.  But  the  lady  answered  him 
briefly,  bade  Mr.  Trefalden  a  courteous  good- 
morning,  and  rode  swiftly  out  of  the  court-yard, 
followed  by  the  red-coats  as  by  a  guard  of  honor. 

Mr.  Trefalden  looked  after  them,  and  smiled 
thoughtfully. 

"Poor  Castletowers!"  said  he  to  himself. 
"  She  has  no  heart  for  any  thing  but  Italy." 

And  then  he  went  into  the  house,  where  he 
found  the  breakfast  over,  the  dining-room  de- 
serted, and  every  body  out  upon  the  terrace.  It 
was  a  large  assembly,  consisting  chiefly  of  ladies, 

centred  in  i  a  hunting  party,  then  gayly  winding 
its  way  down  the  green  elope  and  through  the 
checkered  shade  of  the  oaks.

nothing  about  money,  except  how  to  spend  it." 
"Then,  my  dear  fellow,  yon  know  more  than 
I  gave  you  credit  for,"  replied  Mr.  Trefalden. 
"  Money  is  a  very  pleasant  and  desirable  thing, 
but  there  are  three  great  difficulties  connected 
with  it — how  to  get  it,  how  to  keep  it,  and  how 
to  spend  it — and  I  am  not  at  all  sure  that  to  do 
the  last  in  the  best  way  is  not  the  hardest  task 

ever,  concerns  the  second  of  those  propositions.

for  I  fear  there  are  only  too  many  who  enjoy

They  had  now  reached  the  library,  a  long 
low  room,  paneled  and  furnished  with  dark  oak, 
and  looking  out  upon  the  same  quiet  garden 
commanded  by  the  window  of  Signor 


Colonna's  little  study.     The  ; 


side  of  the  tire-place,  and  the  whole  length  ot 
the  opposite  wall,  were  fitted  with  shelves  pro- 
tected at  the  edges  by  strips  of  stamped  and 
gilded  leather.  The  books  upon  these  shelves 
were  mostly  antique  folios  and  quartos  in  heavy 
bindings  of  brown  and  mottled  calf,  and  con- 
sisted of -heavy  archaeological  and  theological 
works,  county  histories,  chronologies,  sermons,

But  Mr.  Trefalden  laid  only  his  pocket-book 
and  a  small  case-map  on  the  table  before  him. 

"The  bag,"  he  replied,  "was  but  a  figure  of 
speech,  a  legal  fiction.  I  have  no  parchments

he  let  me  have  her.  He  had  been  offered  five 
hundred  and  fifty  only  a  day  or  two  before." 

Mr.  Trefalden  smiled  dubiously,  and  glanced 
back  at  a  memoraudum  entered  in  his  note-hook 
a  few  weeks  before  when  sitting  behind  that

"But  then  he  is  a  man  of  business,  and  his

were  both  i  i. LI  and  nnimpulsive. 

With  this  he  turned  to  his  papers,  placed  them 
ready  for  reference,  and  opened  out  the  map 
upon  the  table.  Then  he  paused,  as  if  collect- 
ing his  thoughts  upon  the  subject  on  which  he 
was  next  about  to  speak.  Prompt  man  of  busi- 
ness as  he  was,  one  might  almost  have  thought 
that  Mr.  Trefalden  was  reluctant  to  approach  the 
very  topic  which  he  had  come  all  the  way  from 
London  to  discuss.     At  length  he  began.

who  are  over-cautious,  confound  speculation  with 
enterprise.  In  England  our  great  public  works 
are  almost  invariably  originated  and  conducted 
by  private  bodies ;  and  herein  lies  the  chief 
spring  of  our  national  prosperity.  Enterprise 
has  made  us  what  we  are — mere  speculation 
would  have  ruined  us.  What  I  have  to  propose 
to  you,  Saxon,  is  an  enterprise  of  extraordinary 
importance,  a  gigantic  enterprise,  as  regards  its 
result,  and  one  of  comparatively  trifling  magni- 
tude, as  regards  its  cost.     But  you  must  give

Alexandria,  where — " 

"But  I  see  two  red  lines  crossing  the  Medi-

"  We  will  follow  this  one  first.  At  Alexandria 
it  joins  the  railway,  is  carried  across  the  Isthmus 
to  Suez,  thence  traverses  the  Red  Sea  to  Aden,  . 
and  proceeds  by  the  Arabian  Sea  to  Bombay. 
This  route  is  the  prescriptive  property  of  the

Mr.  Trefalden  looked  very  grave. 

"It  will  also  leave  you  with  less  to  give,  and

THE  TRIAL  OF  MISS  HARRIS. 

Now  that  tho  trial  of  the  conspirators  is  over, 
the  exciting  topic  of  Washington  life  is  the  trial  of 
Miss  Maky  Kauris  for  the  murder  last  January 
of  Jackhon  Burroughs,  a  clerk  In  the  Treasury 
Department  nl  Washington.  We  published  at  the 
time  tho  details  of  the  murder,  which  was  commit- 
ted apparently  to  obtain  revenge- for  Borrouqhs's 

The  conduct  of  the  deceased  toward  Miss  Harris 
ivas  inexcusable,  in  any  case,  and  was  especially 
aggravated  if  it  bo  true,  as  is  claimed  by  tho  de- 
fense, that  ho  sought  to  secure  her  presence  in  a 


r  a  pruini-.i.'  of  marriage. 
There  can  scarcely  be  a  doubt  in  the  minds  of 
ny  one  but  that  tho  provocation  was  insufficient 
a  the  justification  of  murder.  It  wai  necessary, 
licrefore,  for  tho  defense  to  establish  a  separate 
lea— that  of  insanity

In  the  first  place,  it  may  be  roughly  set  down 
is  a  fact  that  the  oil  region  of  Pennsylvania  is 
the  only  region  which  as  yet  produces  oil  in  suf- 

tions.  Oil  is  produced  in  Ohio,  Virginia,  New 
York,  and  other  States.  But  as  yet  the  product 
of  these  States  is  so  small,  in  comparison  with 
that  of  Pennsylvania,  that  they  need  not  be  con- 
sidered in  a  general  review  of  the  subject. 

Next,  the  actual  product  of  oil  iuPennsylvania

They 


and  full  of  sympathy  and  assis 

know  that  among  the  many  good 

of  New  Jersey  the  one  who  would  especially  be 

called  the  soldier's  friend  is  Marcus  L.  Ward. 

The  New  Jersey  Union  platform  is  stiong  and 
sound.  It  arraigns  with  great  force  the  Copper- 
head influence  which  has  controlled  the  State, 
and  unreservedly  supports  the  Emancipation 
Amendment.  It  reaffirms  also  the  fundamental 
truths  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  and 
announces  that  the  doctrine  that  governments 
derive  their  just  powers  from  the  consent  of  the 
governed  is  not  a  "  gbttering  generality."  This 
is  the  best  principle  in  national  reorganization. 
In  affirming  their  adhesion  to  it  the  Union  men 
of  New  Jersey  place  themselves  by  the  side  of 
their  brethren  in  all  the  other  loyal  States.

announce  a  principle  than  to  declare  a  policy.

CHAPTER  XXIX. 


An  evening  party  fit  Castletowers  was  a  mo- 
mentous affair.  It"  involved  a  good  deal  of  ex- 
pense and  a  vast  amount  of  anxiety ;  for  the 
hereditary  coffers  were  ever  hut  scantily  fur- 
nished, and  the  hcrcdiian  hnspitnlity  had  in  L.o 
kept  up  at  any  cost.    How  some  of  Lady  Castle-

were  inconvenienced  by  it. 

On  the  present  occasion,  however,  Lord  Castle- 
towers  had  been  compelled  to  apply  to  bis  solic- 
itor for  an  advance  upon  his  next  halt  -yearly  re- 
ceipts; and  when  William  Trefalden  went  down 
that  Thursday  morning  to  see  his  cousin  Saxon 
he  brought  with  him  a  check  for  the  Earl.  The 
party  was  fixed  for  the  following  evening ;  but 
Mr.  Trefalden  could  not  be  prevailed  upon  to 
stay  for  it.     He  was  obliged,  he  said,  to  go  back

heiress,  in  her  loud  way,  looking  after  His  Re- 
sponsibility through  her  glass,  as  he  passed  on 
toward  the  adjoining  room. 

"  Prince  Quartz  Potz,  my  dear  Miss  Hather-

chimney-piece,  its  Gothic  rafters,  and  its  stands 
of  rusty  armor,  some  of  which  dated  back  to  the 
field  of  Agincourt,  was  the  glory  of  Castletowers. 
Brilliantly  lighted,  decorated  with  evergreensand

band,  it  made  such  a  ball-room  as  one  might

Lord  Castletowers,  who  happened  to   come 
at  the  moment.     "Can  I  be  of  any  service ? 

"Of  the  utmost.  I  want  to  be  introducec

has  been  talking  for  the  last  five  or  six  weeks.'

"Thanks.  And  be  sure  you  make  him  dance 
with  me,  Lord  Castletowers — I  want  to  dance 
with  him  above  all  things.  He  con  dance,  I 
suppose?" 

"  Of  course.  How  can  you  ask  such  a  ques- 
tion ?"

fect wild  man  of  the  woods  before  he  inherited

in  his  life." 

"If  you  mean  that  he  has  not  yet  been  pre- 
sented at  St.  James's,  you  are  probably  right," 
replied  the  Earl,  smiling. 

"What,  a  pun,  Lord  Castletowers?  How 
shocking!  I  did  not  believe  you  capable  of 
such  an  enormity.  But  do  pray  tell  me  a  little 
truth  about  your  friend;  for  I  dare  say  I  have 
heard  plenty  of  fiction.  Was  he  not  really  a 
barbarian,  after  all?" 


Mr.  Keckwitch  sat  alone  in  a  little  private 
parlor  at  the  back  of  the  bar  of  the  Hospitaler's 
Gate  tavern,  with  a  bottle  of  brown  sherry  and 
a  couple  of  glasses  before  him,  waiting  patient- 
ly.    It  was  the  evening  of  the  very  day  that  hi:

passed  it  by  in  his  pleasant  n 
without  a  word. 

But  Mr.  Keckwitch  was  thinking  neither  of 
the  good  Knights  Hospitalers,  nor  of  Dr.  John- 
son, nor  of  any  thing  nor  any  one  just  then, 
saving  and  excepting  a  certain  Mr.  Nicodemus 
Kidd,  who  had  promised  to  meet  him  tl 
eight  o'clock  that  Thursday  evening. 


The  clock  in  the  bar  had  struck  eight  long 
ago.  The  clock  of  St.  John's  Church  close  by 
had  struck  a  quarter  past,  and  then  half  past, 
and  still  Mr.  Kidd  was  not  forthcoming.  The 
head  clerk  looked  at  his  watch,  sighed,  shook 
his  head,  poured  out  a  glass  of  the  brown  sherry, 
itemplaiively'.     Before  he  had 


and  drank  it  i 

quite  got  to  the  end  of  it  a  "jovial  \ 

bar,  and  a  noisy  hand  upon  the  latch  of  the  glass 

door,  announced  his  friend's  arrival. 

Mr.  Kidd  came  in — a  tall,  florid,  good-hu- 
mored-looking fellow,  with  a  frank  laugh,  a  loud 
cheery  voice,  and  a  magnificent  pair  of  red 
whiskers.  The  practiced  observer,  noting  his 
white  hat,  his  showy  watchguard,  his  free  and 
easy  hearing,  would  have  pronounced  him  at 
first  sight  to  be  a  commercial  traveler ;  but  tho

"  Sorry  to  have  kept  you  waiting,  Mr.  Keck- 
witch," said  he,  nodding  familiarly  to  his  enter- 
tainer, drawing  a  chair  to  the  opposite  side  of 
the  fire,  and  helping  himself  at  once  to  a  glass 
of  wine.  "Not  my  fault,  I  assure  you.  Sher- 
ry, eh?  Capital  sherry,  too.  Don't  know  a 
better  cellar  in  London,  and  that's  saying  some- 

"I'm  very  glad  yon  have  been  able  to  look

"Well,  you  surprise  me  very  much,"  said 
Miss  Hatherton,  "  and  I  can  not  deny  that  I'm

"young  lady"  who  presided  at  the  bar  in  ring- 
lets and  pink  ribbons,  for  a  friend.  It  was  about 
eight  o'clock  in  the  evening,  and  although  the 
sky  was  as  yet  onlv  gray  with  dusk,  the  gas  was 
already  lighted;  for  the  Hospitaler's  Gate  was 
a  queer,  old-fashioned,  shut-in  place,  and  the 
daylight  always  seemed  to  make  a  point  of  get- 
ting away  from  it  as  early  as  possible.  There 
was,  however,  a  bright  fire  burning  in  the  grate, 
and  the  bar  beyond  was  all  alive  with  custom- 
ers. The  tops  of  the  great  yellow  puncheons 
and  the  lacquered  gas-burners  were  visible  above 
the  blind  that  veiled  the  half-glass  door  of  the 
parlor;  and  now  and  then  some  privileged  cus- 
tomer would  peep  over,  stare  at  the  back  of  Mr. 
,  and  disappear.  But  the  clerk

this  hour  were  few.  Sometimes  a  cab  drove 
up  ;  sometimes  a  cart  rumbled  past,  but  not  oft- 
en. The  great  stream  of  traffic  flowed  close 
by,  along  a  neighboring  thoroughfare,  and  was 
hoarsely  audible,  like  '■'■'■  ■'"■■^  i1";-.'.  or  a  !,,  .■  ■ 
sea;  but  the  Hospitaler's  Gate  stood  apart, 
gray  and  hoary,  and  stored  with  strange  old 
memories,  spanning  the  shabby  by-street  with 
its  battlemented  arch,  and  echoing,  in  a  ghastly 
wav,  to  the  merriment  below.

Mr.  Keckwitch  glanced  toward  the  glass  door, 
edged  his  chair  a  little  nearer  to  that  of  his 
guest,  ami  said,  huskily: 

"  Have  you  had  time,  Mr.  Kidd,  to  think  over 
that  little  matter  we  were  speaking  about  the 
other  day?" 

"  That  little  matter  ?"  repeated  Mr.  Kidd,  in 
the  same  loud,  off-hand  way  as  before.  "Oh, 
yes— I've  not  forgotten  it." 

He  said  this  filling  his  glass  for  the  third 
time,  and  holding  it  in  a  knowing  fa-hion  be- 
tween his  eye  and  the  lamp.  The  head  clerk 
came  an  inch  or  two  nearer,  and,  bending  for- 
ward with  his  two  fat  hands  upon  his  knees, 
ejaculated : 

"Well?" 

"Well,  Mr.  Keckwitch?" 

"  What  i-  your  opinion?" 

Mr.  Kidd  tossed  off  the  third  glass,  leaned 
back  in  his  chair,  and,  with  a  smile  of  delight- 
ful candor,  said: 


Mr.  Keek-witch  breathed  hard. 
"What  do  you  mean,  Mr.  Kidd?"  said  he. 
'Haven't  I  made  myself  understood?" 

Mr.  Kidd  pushed  his  glass  away,  thrust  his 
lands  into  his  pockets,  and  became  suddenly

BOAT-RACE  AT  POUGHKEEPSTH. 


e  race  at  Poughkeepsie  on  the  18th 
of  July  between  the  New  York  and  Poughkeepsie 
crews.  Both  crews  were  known  as  the  best  oars-

bring  themselves  into  the  most  perfect  condition  for 
the  race.  When  the  conveyances  began  to  arrive 
on  the  morning  of  the  18th  it  was  evident  that 
Poughkeopsie  was  to  be  crowded  with  thieves, 
gamblers,  and  pickpockets.  These  miscreants  got 
possession  of  the  restaurants,  and  got  up  disturb-

appeared  that  Poughkeepsie  was  gaining  on  New

across  the  bows  of  the  Poughkeepsie,  compelling

Rev.  Newton  Heston,  whose  portrait  we  give 
on  our  first  page,  was  born  in  the  city-  of  Phila- 
d-!phia,  Pa.,  November  30,  1823,  of  Quaker  pa- 
rents. He  received  careful  training  at  home.  He 
often  took  occasion  to  speak,  in  his  sermons  and  in 
his  addresses  to  children,  of  his  father  and  mother. 
At  the  early  age  of  fourteen  years  he  left  school, 
and  was  a  pupil  in  no  institution  of  learning  after 
to  religious 
v  Sorin,  he  was  led 
:  of  Jesus  Christ  as  his  Saviour,

of  age,  and  so  acceptably  exercised  his  gift  hat  he 
was  soon  placed  in  charge  of  the  Methodist  i.pisco-

in  resuscitating  feeble-  churches  led  to  his  appoint-

where  he  was  known  as  the  "Boy  Preacher,"  and

the  next  day  the  festival  came  to  a  close.  The 
Germans  show  an  excellent  taste  in  their  unions 
and  festivals.  They  do  not  get  togethorfor  political 
or  literary  conventions;  they  care  little  for  speeches, 

flowers,  and  plenty  of  lager  and  Rhein  wein,  and 
they  have  an  infinite  fund  of  amusement  and  genu- 
ine pleasure.  As  compared  with  the  Englishman 
or  the  Frenchman,  the  German  has  pre-eminently 
the  faculty  of  enjoying  himself  without  knowing  it. 


LAUNCH  OF  THE  "  DUNDERBERG.' 

Saturday,  July  22,  was  launched  from  tin 


.EsQ^f 


largest  mailed  vessel  in  the  world.  The  launch 
was  accomplished  with  perfect  success,  though  the 
weather  was  so  inauspicious.     About  two  thousand 

The  principle  on  which  the  JMmkrb.rg  is  con- 
structed is  this,  namely,  that  speed  and  weight  of 
armament  are  as  essential  as  invulnerability.  The 
latter,  indeed,  seems  almost  unattainable,  as  no  ar- 
mor is  secure  against  the  Armstrong  t;nti- pounder. 
The  plan  of  the  Dwukrberg  was  laid  by  Mr.  YVfbi;, 
but  the  vessel  has  been  built  under  the  general  su- 
perintendence of  Rear-Admiral  F.  H.  Gregory,  of 
the  United  States  navy.  To  render  the  vessel  a3 
invulnerable  as  possible  to  the  missiles  of  an  enemy 
hor  surface,  so  far  as  it  is  exposed,  is  very  angular, 
as  will  be  seen  from  our  illustration  on  page  '185.

plates  are  placed  vertically,  and  not  horizontally, 
as  is  the  case  with  the  iron-clad  vessels  of  Europe. 

The  serew  propeller  of  the  Dunderberg  weighs 
alone  32,000  pounds,  and  has  a  pitch  of  from  27  to 
30  feet. 

The  casemate  or  fighting-room  of  the  Dunderberg 
is  constructed  of  square  logs,  each  one  foot  in  thick- 
ness, and  is  built  up  to  the  height  of  seven  feet  and 
covered  over  with  a  bomb-proof  deck,  on  which  it 
was  originally  intended  in  plaee  two  turrets  similar

contract  price  was  one  million  four  hundred  thou- 
sand dollars— t lie  same  as  the  Dictator,  which  carries 
only  two  lo-inch  guns. 

The  length  of  the  vessel  is  380  feet,  and  her  depth 
of  hold  over  22  feet.  She  weighs  about  2700  tons 
as  she  stood  before  launching.  Her  addition  to  our 
navy  gives  us  a  great  advantage  over  the  navies  of 
Europe. 


MAJOR-GENERAL  GRIFFIN. 

Major-General  Charlks  Griffin,  who  at  the 
battle  of  Five  Forks  superseded  General  Warren 
in  command  of  the  Fifth  Corps,  by  order  of  General 
Sheridan,  although  one  of  the  youngest,  is  one  m 
the  ablest  of  our  Generals.  He  enter-d  tin- Mi  lours 
Academy  at  West  Point,  from  Ohio,  in  1843,  and 
graduated  in  1847,  with  the  rank  of  Brevet  Second- 
Lieutenant  of  Artillery.  In  June,.  1849,  he  was 
promoted  to  the  First-Lieutenancy.  Previous  to 
his  assumption  of  the  command  of  the  corps,  Gen- 
eral Griffin  had  for  a  long  time  been  associated 
with  it  as  commander  of  the  First  Division— a  Di- 
vision which  was  always  in  the  front  rank,  courting 
danger,  whether  in  a  gallant  defense  against  great 
odds,  or  in  an  impetuous  charge  upon  the  strong  po- 
sition of  the  enemy.    We  give  a  portrait  of  General

And  I  gave  the  bed  an  indignant  dig  with  my  fists.

wi.ridly  philosophy— penny  wise  and  pound  foolisl 
folks,  who  on  all  occasions  sternly  refuse  to  giv 
any  one  a  single  penny  over  his  due.  They  sav 
their  pence  and  lose  hundreds.  It  is  not  briberv 
it  is  not  the  money  that  does  it.  It  is  the  favo

monopolized  by  "something  to  drink."  •

of  Liberty  asserts  equality  of  opportunity  for  all

faces  or  the  equality  of  races.  A  professional 
politician  appealing  to  the  grog-shops  and  party- 
spirit  may  harangue  about  "white  men,"  and

have  equal  rights  because  of  their  color  is  a  fool- 
ish figment  that  will  not  long  be  entertained  in

in  saying  that  military  law  was  the  natural  law

DEAD-HEADS. 

his  journal  s

ig  game  time  reference  was  made  to  two  prom- 
ient  causes  of  the   unpopularity  of  railway 

railway  di- 
3  of  Further  development  of 
the  subject.  The  directors  of  the  Michigan 
Southern  and  Northern  Indiana  Railroad  have 
"  passed"  (i.  ft,  failed  to  pay)  their  summer  div- 
idend on  their  common  stock  ;  while  the  directs 
ora  of  the  Erie  Railway  Company,  on  26th  ult., 
declared  a  dividend  of  four  per  cent,  on  their 

The  cases  of  these  two  companies  were  iden- 
tical in  every  point  save  the  last  action  of  the 
directors.  Both  had  fully  earned  a  dividend. 
Neither  had  any  money  on  hand.  Both  had 
spent  their  surplus 


business.  The  Micliigan  Southern  earned  net 
last  year  about  $i,5oo,ooo,  only  $900,000  of 
which  reached  the  "hands  of  the  treasurer,  the 
balance  having  been  used  by  the  superintendent 
to  pay  for  new  rolling  stock.  Thus  when  divi- 
dend day  came  round,  last  January,  the  direct- 
ors had  no  money  on  hand ;  but,  unwilling  to 
disappoint  their  stockholders,  they  declared  3$ 


last  January.  The  Erie  earned  in  1864  about 
§4,000,000  net ;  yet,  when  the  directors  met  in 
January  to  determine  the  dividend  question,  it 
was  found  that  not  only  had  the  Company  no 
money  to  divide  (though  22,000  shares  of  new 
Btoek  had  been  sold  at  and  above  par  for  new  con- 
sh-uc'tiim),  but  it  owed  .-  [,</,..,.  ,„-,n  1.0  a  loading 
director,  and  had  other  liabilities  nialuring  in 
the  ensuing  six  months  which  it  was  clear  the 
meet.  The  Erie 
of  the  Michigan 
disappoint  their 
le  usual  four*per 
cent,  dividend,  borrowing  the  money  to  pay  it. 
This  lOan  has  not  been  paid  off.  Thus  itr  the 
position  of  the  two  concerns  was  alike  at  every 
stage.  Now  it  begins  to  differ.  The  Erie  di- 
rectors, relying  on  enormous  gross  earnings,  and 
on  the  evident  increasing  popularity  of  the  stock, 
pay  another  dividend,  borrowing  the  money  again 
for  the  purpose;  the  Michigan  Southern  direct- 
or^ suspend  dividends  until  they  can  pay  off  their 
floating  debt. 

Without  undertaking  to  canvass  the  arguments 
which  can  be  urged  in  support  of  either  policy, 
it  may  be  remarked  thu 


keep  pace  with  the  rapid  development  of  the 
country  and  the  increase  of  local  traffic.  In 
this  effort — which  always  has  proved  and  al- 
ways will  prove  suicidal — either  the  Company 
or  the  stockholders  must  be  sacrificed.  The 
Erie  directors  have  sacrificed  the  Company  ;  the 
Micliigan  Southern  directors  their  stockholders. 
A  traveler  passing  over  our  leading  Northern 
lines  of  railway  is  apt  to  form  an  exaggerated 
notion  of  the  prosperity  of  those  enterprises.

eign uavt'lei's,  and  a  few  farmers." 

There  is  no  reason  to  repaid  the  statement  as 
exaggerated.  Another  railway  director  states 
that  in  Chicago  no  man  who  "knows  the  ropes"

every  dollar  saved  to  him  is 

who  needs  it  badly,  is  one  of  the  anomalies  of 
modern  civilization.  Here  in  the  East  the  sys- 
tem does  not  flourish  as  exuberantly  as  at  the 
West.  But  even  here,  when  a  gentleman  of 
pretty  extensive  acquaintance  iu  Wall  Street 
mentioned  to  a  friend  that  he  was  going  on 
business  to  a  town  on  the  New  York  Central,

would  have  knocked  down  any  man  who  had 
proposed  to  give  him,  as  a  free  donation,  three 
dollars  currency;  and  that  his  friend,  for  whom 
this  begging  enterprise  was  to  be-set  on  foot, 
was  perfectly  able  to  pay  his  way,  had  no  sort 
of  claim  on  the  railroads,  and  never  could  by

The 


equivalent  in    railway 


Time  was,  they  say,  when  editors  were  no- 
torious dead-heads — not  only  traveled  free,  but 
lived  free  at  hotels,  and  even  got  their  hats, 
boots,  aud  breeches  free  of  charge.  There  was 
a  degree  of  mimes-)  iu  this.  The  editor  was  ex- 
pected to  give  a  putt'  in  exchange  for  the  state- 
room, dinuer.Tiat,  or  breeches  :  and  calculating 
the  puff  at  so  much  a  line  according  to  the  cur- 
rent rates  of  advertising,  the  dead-head  did  not 
always  get  the  best  of  the  bargain.  But  now 
no  respectable  newspaper  admits  puffs  on  such 
terms ;  and  it  is  well  understood  that  editors 
who  claim  the  privileges  of  dead-beads  are 
merely  indigent  beggars  who  plead  in  forma 
pauperis,  and  have  nothing  to  give  in  exchange 
for  the  alms  they  receive. 

So  far  as  the  railroads  are  concerned  the 
dead-head  system  is  simply  ruin  to  them.  It

vere economy  and  close  vigilance.  Leaks,  either 
in  the  income  or  in  the  outgo,  will  eventually 
ruin  the  best  situate  road.  In  our  great  rail- 
road-building era— from  1848  to  1 858— wher- 
ever we  found  business  for  one  line  we  built 
two  or  three ;  and  though  the  growth  of  the 
country  and  the  increase  of  population  are  help- 
ing all  the  leading  lines  toward  a  position  of 


in  the  West— is  ever  to  become  as  reliable  an 

dead-head  system  must  be  abolished,  and  peo- 
ple must  no  more  expect  to  be  carried  free  on 
railway  trains  than  they  now  expect  to  get  their

of  your  future  husband,"  and  a 

in  Washington  lias  decided  that  a 
woman  may  shoot  a  man  who  jilts  her.  Now  if 
the  ingenious  youth  chooses  to  send  to  any  cu- 
rious dame  in  Buffalo  or  Milwaukee,  or  at  some 
remote  town  or  country  side  upon  the  Tombig- 
bee  or  Chattahoochie  rivers,  the  likeness  of  the 
amiable  gentleman  who  is  at  this  moment  perus- 
ing these  lines,  and  he  thoughtlessly  declines  to 

that  he  has — unwittingly,  indeed,  but  none  the 


intc-re-ting  aspect  of  the 
se  the  jilting  to  be  first  upon 
and  the  swain  in  despair  be- 
inother  bride.     Why,  to  grat- 


,  should  not  the  indignant  lady  shoot 


the  old  lover  at  sight,  < 
pnt  in  his  love-letters 
umphantly  acquitted 
plause ? 


n  that  she  was  jilted, 
svidence,  and  be  tri- 
s  ap- 


,  that  is  told  in 

the  papers.  "  Carrie,  dear,  will  yon  please 
lend  me  your  revolver,  I  fear  George  will  not 
be  true  to  his  promise  to-night?"  .  "Why, 
Emma,  I'm   so  sorry.      I've  just  lent  my  re- 

ever  so  much  more  money  than  .Alfred;  but, 
dear,  I  can  let  you  have  my  ivory  -  handled 
stiletto  with  much  pleasure." 

The  war  has  evidently  made  human  life  less 
sacred  in  public  estimation,  or  a  jury  would 
hardly  have  held  jilting  to  be  a  justification  of 
murder.  That  a  woman  should  shoot  a  man 
who  has  betrayed  and  ruined  her  is  accepted  by 
society,  for  obvious  reasons,  as  a  wild  justice. 
But  a  breach  of  promise  to  marry  has  not  hith- 
erto been  supposed  to  excuse  assassination.  A 
wise  people,  however,  will  not  disdain  to  learn. 
Mr.  Reverdy  Johnson  makes  perjury  a  political 
duty;  Mr.  Horace  Greeley  would  have  act- 
ive treason  viewed  as  a  difference  of  opinion; 
and  a  Washington  jury  finds  that  a  man  who 
breaks  his  won  I  is  justly  shot  for  it. 

Meanwhile  another  case  raises  a  question.

CHAPTER  XXXII. 


"What  the  deuce  can  we  do  to  amuse  all 
these  people?"  said  Lord  Castletowers  to  Major 
Vaughan,  as  they  met  on  the  stairs  before  break- 
fast the  morning  after  the  party.  ' '  The  Eshers, 
I  know,  go  early,  and  my  mother  will  take  care 
of  the  ladies ;  but  here  are  six  or  eight  men  hv.

fore night.     What  is  to  be  done?" 

"Billiards?" 

"Well  enough  for  an  hour  or  two;  butapres?" 

"We  might  ride  over  to  Guildford,  and  beat 
up  the  quarters  of  those  forty-second  men  who 

"Impossible.  There  are  only  five  riding- 
horses  in  the  stables,  including  yours  and  Tre- 

take  them  out  shooting,  if  there  were  any  thing 
to  shoot,  except  rooks— which  there  isn't  I"  said 
the  Karl,  in  desperation. 

"Then  I  don't  know  what  we  can  do,  unless 
we  put  on  the  gloves.  But  here  comes  the  Ar- 
cadian; perhaps  he  can  suggest  something." 

The  Arcadian  meant  Saxon.  It  was  a  sobri- 
quet that  bad  befallen  him  of  late,  no  one  knew 
how.  The  difficulty  was  no  sooner  explained 
to  him  than  he  proposed  a  way  out  of  it. 


"And  I,  my  inlaid  pistols,"  said  Saxon. 

"And  I—  Bah!  I  am  such  a  poor  devil," 
saidVaughan.  "Ipossess  nothing  of  any  value 
except  my  sword  and  my  horse." 

"The  best  riches  of  a  soldier,  Major  "Vaughan," 
said  Mademoiselle  Colonna.  "But  may  I  ask 
why  this  parliament  is  being  held  upon  the 
stairs  ?" 

She  had  just  come,  unheard,  along  the  car- 
peted corridor,  and  stood  waiting  a  few  steps 
higher  than  the  trio  iu  consultation.  She  wore 
a   delicate   gray  dress  of  some   soft  material, 

collar  fastened  at  the  throat  by  a  circular  brooch 
of  Roman  gold.  Behind  her'fell  the  folds  of  a 
crimson  curtain;  while,  through  the  uppermost 
roses  of  a  huge  Gothic  window  that  reached  from 
nearly  the  top  to  the  bottom  of  the  great  oak 
staircase,  a  stream  of  vivid  sunshine  poured  down 
upon  her  head,  so  that  she  stood  in  the  midst  of 
it,  in  her  pale,  proud  beauty,  as  if  inclosed  in  a 
pillar  of  light. 

The  three  men  looked  up,  dazzled,  almost 
breathless,  as  if  in  presence  of  some  glorified 
apparition  ;  and  for  a  moment  none  replied. 

Mademoiselle  Colonna,  divining  perhaps,  with 
her  fine  womanlv  instinct,  the  spell  by  which 
they  were  bound,' moved  a  step  lower  out  of  the

bail  sutl'ered  very  milch  from  Mi-kni'^,  retching,  and 


throat,  and  a  constant,  urgent  thirst.  Tho  Doctor 
examined  her  tongue,  which  was  very  foul  and  of  u 
light-brown  color.  Her  face  was  more  deeply 
flushed  than  when  he  last  saw  her,  her  pulse  was 
weak  and  rapid,  and  her  skin  moist  and  cold.  All 
these  symptoms  confirmed  Dr.  Patkiison's  opinion

go  away.  After  this  time  the  improper  iiriiinaiy 
continued,  and  Pkitcmard  promised  Mary 
that  if  bis  wife  died  before  him  he  would  marry  her. 
He  hod  got  tho  better  of  her  by  means  of  present

a  few  days  before  Mrs.  Pritciiard  died.  Mary 
""Lkoi/s  testimony  was  given  with  great  hesita- 

Tbe  nrgmnunt  for  the  defense  was  almost  entire- 
ly negative.     The  chief  streBS  was  laid  on  the  ab-

itimacy  with  the  girl  M-Li-.un,  but  denied  iliat  lie 
'as  in  any  way  instrumental  in  Mrs.  Taylor's 
eath.  He  denied  having  in  any  way  administer,  d 
ntimony  to  his  wife  in  any  shape  during  her  ill-

lat  Dr.  Pkitcharp  was  gentle  in  manner,  a  man 

active  to  ignorant  girls.  The  real  motive  appears 
i  have  been  his  desire  to  get  possession  of  a  lev/aey 
'two  thousand  pounds  belonging  to  Mrs.  Tayluii, 
id  which  be  knew  would  be  inherited  by  his  wife 
i  sueli  conditions  as  to  insure  his  own  possession 
i  case  of  his  wile's  death.  This  supposition  is  con- 
firmed by  the  fact  that  summarv  means  were  taken

THE  GREAT  STRUGGLE.

3  United  States  for  the  State  of 
he  docs  not  think 
Union  men  will  be  "punished"  in  that  State, 
wliat  does  such  an  extraordinary  expression 
mean?  When  the  Northern  allies  of  the  late 
rebels  declare  that,  having  laid  down  their  arms, 
every  State  kitely  in  rebellion  has  as  good  a 
right  to  send  representatives  to  Congress  with- 
out condition  or  inquiry  as  the  loyal  States — 
What  do  they  mean  ?  What  does  the  total  ab- 
sence in  thorebel  States  of  any  disposition  but 
that  of  sullen  acquiescence  signify  ? 

All  such  tilings  mean  simply  that  the  great 
struggle  has  merely  changed  its  form,  not  its 
essence.  It  is  a  contest  between  the  spirit  of 
equal  rights  and  of  privilege.  The  form  is  a 
struggle  between  Nationality  and  State  Sover- 

The  people  of  the  United  States  have  to  meet 
this  year  exactly  the  same  spirit  that  they  met 
last  year.     They  have  t<   " 

tin;  fight,  lias  changed. 

Meanwhile  wo  are  glad  to  record  the  great 
advantages  which  the  people  and  a  truly  popu- 
lar government  have  gained  over  the  enemy. 
In  a  struggle  which  is  in  its  very  nature  long 
and  fluctuating  it  is  cheering  to  have  reached  a 
point  of  such  positive  progress  as  we  have  now 
attained,  All  we  ask  is  that  in  our  exultation 
we  do  not  recede :  that  we  do  not  misconceive 
the  real  nature  of  our  advantage  and  fatally  as- 
sume it  to  be  a  final  victory. 

The  doctrine  of  State  Sovereignty,  which  would 
be  the  present  ruin  of  the  United  States,  of  civil 
liberty,  and  of  civilization,  Iia-  been  tor  thirty 
years  and  more  aiming  to  engross  the  Govern- 
ment. It  has  had  more  able  and  resolute  lead- 
ers and  a  more  stupid  and  superstitious  follow- 
ing than  any  other  policy  in  our  history.  The

Southern  men,"  and  to  resume  the  wi 
the  Union  which  they  suspended  in  U 
their  uttempt  to  break  out  of  it. 

That  they  are  in  the  least  changed  i 
opinion  nobody  is  fool-hardy  enough  t< 

war.  That  they  are  weakened  is  true;  but  their 
prestige  at  Ireme  is  not  lost,  and  a  large  party 
in  the  country  is  ready  to  unite  with  them  in 
their  policy  as  they  agree  with  them  in  political 
views.  And  the  exact  point  of  danger  is  this  ■ 
Emancipation  will  give  to  the  Congressional 
representation  of  the  eleven  rebel  States  in  the 
year  1870  an  increase  of  nineteen  members. 
Let  these  be  elected  by  the  late  rebels  in  those 
States,  and  they  will  need  only  twenty-eight 
members  from  the  rest  of  the  country  to  place 
the  Government  of  the  United  Suites,  in  the 
hands  of  its  bitterest  enemies.  The  State  of 
New  York  alone  could  supply  those  members. 

This  is  a  very  plain  and  simple  purpose.  The 
long  training  and  cherished  tradition  of  an 
ignorant  people  whose  passions  are  inilamed  by 
skillful  and  designing  leaders  are  not  extin- 
guished in  one  unsuccessful  struggle.  The 
American  who  supposes  this  civil  contest  to  be 
ended  because  Lee  surrendered  to  Grant  at 
Appomattox  Court  Honse  is  as  wise  as  the  En- 
glishman who  should  have  supposed  the  civil 
war  in  England  to  end  with  the  return  of 
Charles  II.  We  have  reached  a  certain  peri- 
od in  the  struggle — that  is  all.  It  ascends  from 
"  a  Legislature  ;  but  it  is  the 


we  be-  tluni-lithil  men  to  remember  is,  that 
what  was  gained  in  the  field  may  be  lost  in  the 
chamber.  The  men  who  could  not  shoot  us 
down  may  wheedle  and  fatigue  and  outwit  us 
into  submission. 

The  amiable  twaddle  about  conciliation  is 
therefore  either  folly  or  knavery.  It  is  folly  if 
it  springs  from  a  conviction  that  the  Govern- 
ment is  in  no  peril  from  the  defeated  rebels. 
It  is  knavery  if  it  be  merely  a  renewal  of  the  old 
tactics.  When  tbe  intentions  of  "the  South" 
—speaking  politically— were  the  blackest,  we 
merely  asking

while  we  were  taught  to  relax  our  handB  they 
clutched  our  throats.  Is  it  wise  to  be  twice 
snared  in  the  same  trap? 

exult— certainly  none  to  misrepresent.  But  as 
we  believe  much  of  the  guilt  of  the  war  rests 
upon  those  who  prevaricated  and  cajoled  instead 
of  speaking  plainly,  we  hope  to  avoid  any  simi- 
lar responsibility  in  the  future.  This  paper  cir- 
culates widely  in  the  late  rebel  region.  It  is

A  popular  impression  now  prevails  that  peace 
has  been  restored  throughout  this  country.  If 
this  impression  be  well  founded  there  can  be  no 
good  reason  for  persisting  in  methods  of  finance 
which,  though  perhaps  justified  by  necessity  in 
the  agony  of  the  war,  are  clearly  at  variance  with

THE  ENGLISH  ELECTIONS.

elections  springs  from  cur  sympathy  with  the

Thb  Queen  Pofttger  Emma,  of  Hawaii,  whoso 
portrait  we  give  on  our  first  page,  arrived  in  En-

partially  of  whitc'extractk.u,  since,  though  she  be-

Hawaii. 

The  Queen  Dowager  is  of  very  pleasing  appear- 

ners  mid  hubita  being  those  of  tho  aristocracy  of 
Europe.  Her  education  has  been  adapted  to  her 
high  station,  and  her  amiability  of  temper  and  be- 
nevolouco  of  disposition  have  secured  for  her  the 
affection  of  her  people.  She  is  a  member  of  the 
Episcopal  Church.

CHAPTER  XXXIII. 


At  half  past  two  an  open  carriage  drove  up 
to  the  ground,  and  four  ladies  alighted.     They 
received  by  Lord  Castletowers,  handed  io 
seats,    and   presented   with   written   pro- 
iies  of  the  gurries.      Miss  Colon  mi  was  in- 
d  in  the  central  arm-chair,  which,  being 
placed  a  little  in  advance  of  the  other  seats,  and 
Signified  with  a  foot-stool,  was  styled,  somewhat

more  carriages-  ap-

Lady  Castletowers  at  home, 
she  was  informed  that  '-my  lady  was  gone  across 
the  park  to  see  the  gentlemen  race,  and  had  left 
word,  if  any  friends  called  at  the  house,  that  there 
would  be  seats  for  them  if  they  iiked  to  follow  ' 
Miss  Hatherton,  however,  was  delighted. 

"It's  perfectly  chaining,"  said  she,  as  they 
turned  down  the  drive  leading  to  that  part  of 
the  park  indicated  by  the  servant.  "You  can 
not  lliiuk  how  pleased  I  am,  Lady  Arabella!" 

••  Well,  my  dear,  then  I  am  pleased  too,"  re- 
plied Lady  Arabella,  benevolently.

with  a  little  lady-like  shudder. 

"And  I  hope,  above  all  things,  that  tln-y  will. 
But  then,  you  know,  dear  Lady  Arabella,  1  have

And  so  there  was.  News  is  contagious,  and 
propagates  itself  as  mysteriously  as  the  potato 
disease.  The  whole  neighborhood  had  already 
heard,  somehow  or  nnother,  of  what  was  doing 
at  the  park,  and  every  farmer,  game-keeper,  and 

long  before  the  hour  appointed.      As  for  the

Miss  Hatherton  turned  to  Miss  Colonna  iu  a

Earl;  "but  he  is  our  judge  in  the  rifle-matches

and  enter  the  cricketing  tent  at  the  farther  end, 
whence  he  presently  emerged  with  his  cartridge- 
box  belted  on,  and  his  rifle  iu  his  hand.  He 
was  followed  by  five  others  similarly  equipped  ; 
and  by  Saxon  Trefalden,  who,  in  bis  quality  as 
judge,  took  up  a  safe  position  to  the  right  of 
the  target.  Miss  Hatherton  surveyed  them 
through  her  opera-glass  as  they  came  over  the 
ground  and  placed  themselves  about  a  dozen 
yards  off,  with  their  backs  to  the  stand. 

"Dear  mo'  they  are  very  near  us,"  said  Lady 
Arabella,  with  that  sort  of  pretty  timidity  ihat 
is  less  charming  at  eight  -  and  -  forty  than  at 
eighteen.      "I  hope  it  is  not  dangerous." 

"Don't  be  alarmed,  iny  dear  friend,"  said  Mis* 
Hatherton.  "Gentlemen  don't  generally  fire  be-

The  question  was  addressed  to  Miss  Colonna  , 
but  it  received  no  reply.  Olimpia  heard  the 
words,  as  she  heard  the  report  of  the  first  rifle, 
without  attaching  any  import  to  the  sound,  just

Miss  Hatherton  glanced  at  her  again,  bnt 
scarcely  for  a  second.  She  was  too  deeply  in- 
terested in  the  next  shot  to  care  much  about 
any  thing  else  just  then.  But  she  saw  Olimpia's 
parted  lips,  and  the  outlooking  light  in  her  eyes, 
and  thought  of  both  nfierward.

cited way ;  and  Saxon,  too  well  pleased  to  care 
for  the  moment  whether  Burgoyne  heard  him 
or  not,  shook  his  friend  by  both  hands,  exclaim-

the  glow  fn  his  lj|,s,  ihne-t  it  into  his  Inborn, 
leaped  down  upon  the  course,  and  flew  to  take

as  if  his  head  touched  the  clouds,  and  the  very

HARPER'S  WEEKLY. 


[August  19,  1865. 


A  wild,  wet  night:     The  driving  sleet 
Blurs  nil  the  lamps  along  the  quay; 
The  windows  shake;  the  busy  street 
U  yet  alive  with  hurrying  feefc; 


Alone,  with  doors  and  windows  fast, 

Before  my  open  desk  I  stand— 
Alas!  can  twelve  long  months  be  part. 
My  hidden,  hidden  wealth,  since  lust 

I  held  thee  in  my  hand? 
«o,  thero  it  lies!     From  year  to  year 

I  see  the  ribbon  change; -the  page 
Turn  yellower;  and  the  very  tear 
That  hints   the   writing,  disappear 

And  fudo  away  with  nge! 
Mine  eyes  grow  dim  when  they  beheld 

The  precious  trifles  hoarded  there— 
A  ring  of  battered  Indian  gold,  , 
A  withered  harebell,  and  a  fold 

Of  sunny  chestnut  hair. 
Not  all  the  riches  of  the  earth, 

Not  all  the  treasures  of  the  sea, 
Conld  buy  these  house-gods  from  my  hear 
And  yet  the  secret  of  their  worth 

Must  live  and  die  with  me. 

THE  FIT  OF  ALLSIE'S  SHOE. 

On  a  certain  mellow  August  afternoon  an 
woman  was  traveling  along  the  sea-girt  road

The  old  woman  had  dropped  into  a  chair,  panting 

with  fatigue.

A  great  hand-shaking  followed  this  speech,  and 
then  the  visitor  began  to  inquire  for  Ailsie,  her  god- 
daughter that  was  to  have  been,  only  for  the  un- 
roi-innnie  pain  in  the  heel. 

"  Wait  a  bit,  wait  a  bit,"  said  the  father ;  "she'll 
be  in  from  the  fair  by-an'-by,  an'  then  if  ye  don't

she  thought,  "  Hughie  '11  tell  me  what  to  do

"  Castle  Craigie,"  and  other  foolish  and  meaning- 
less words,  scrawled  profanely  over  the  page  which 
was  to  have  been  sacred  to  navigation  alone.  Ail- 
sie was  "kept  in"  for  bad  conduct,  and  locked  up 
alone  in  the  school  after  the  other  pupils  had  gone 
home.  And  there,  when  the  schoolmaster  came  to 
release  her,  she  was  found  plucking  the  roses  that 
loom-  in  at  the  window,  and  sticking  them  in  the 
holes  for  the  ink-bottles  along  the  desks.  A  crum- 
pled note  lay  open  before  her." 

We  should  hardly  have  said  the  schoolmaster 
came  in,  for,  though  it  was  Hughie  Devnish,  bo  ap- 
peared in  a  new  character.  This  punished  girl  was 
his  wildest  and  least  creditable  pupil,  and  yet,  when

asked,  pettishly.

"An'  that's  a  reason,  fcth  ?"  said  Ailsie,  toss 
her  head,  and  beginning  to  pick  a  rose  to  pieces

grass-colored  satin,  all  with  their  noses  redder  than 

brogues,  and  tittering  just  as  the  sen-ants  had  done 


dancing,   but  it  seemed  to  Ailsie,  whenever   she 

looked  up,  that  nobody  had  got  anything  to  do  but 
to  stare  at  her.  When  she  saw  the  elegant  slippers 
of  the  dancers  she  was  afraid  to  stir  lest  tho  "  ham- 
merin'"  of  her  feet  should  be  heard  all  over  th« 
room ;  and  when  MacQuillan  of  the  Reek  came  up 
to  her,  and,  making  a  low  bow,  begged  the  honor 
of  dancing  with  Iter,  Ailsie's  ears  began  to  sing  with

"  An'  what  if  they  did?"  said  Ailsie,  with  wick- 
ed coolness. 

"  What  if  they  did?"  repeated  Devnish,  slowly, 
looking  at  her  with  a  pained,  appealing  look,  as  if 
expecting  her  to  retract  the  cruel  words.  "  I  tell 
you  what  it  is,  Ailsie,"  he  broke  out,  passionately, 
drawing  his  left  hand  from  its  concealment,  "I 
believe  it's  this  that's  workin'  at  the  bottom  o'  all 
your  coldness.  You're  tired  already  of  a  deformed

Just  as  Ailsie  was  getting  pale  and  the  tears 

coming  into  her  eyes,  a  little  door  opened,  and  the 
Widow  Devnish  camo  into  the  school-room  and 
called  Hughie  to  supper. 

On  the  eventful  night  Ailsie  was  dressed  out 
in  a  yellow  silk  skirt  and  cherry-colored  bodice, 
with  a  fine  pair  of  stockings  of  Mary's  own  knit- 
ting uith  magnificent  docks  up  the  sides.  Ned 
Mm-kl.-h'  rn.  - .1  the  Wiii.ly  (iap.  was  to  take  her  to

"  I  am  one  of  Lady  Betty's  guests/'  said  Ailsie, 
lifting  her  head.     But  a  horrible  tittering  greeted 


nobody  noticed  Ailsie.      Every  gentleman  had  hi* 

little  peasant  girl.  Ailsie  was  very  glad,  for  she 
would  rather  endure  hunger  than  be  laughed  at, 
and  she  was  just  beginning  to  nod  asloep,  when  in 
came  MacQuillan  of  the  Reek,  saying  that  Lady 
Betty  bad  sent  him  to  conduct  her  to  the  supper- 

I  i.iv  h.fiv  u:u  --itting  at  the  head  of  the  most 
distant  table,  with  a  knife  in  her  hand,  and  a  huge 
cake  before  her.  The  more  substantial  eatables 
seemed  to  have  been  already  discussed,  for  every 
guest  had  a  slice  of  this  cake  on  a  plate  before  him 
or  her.     They  were  nibbling  it,  and  mincing  it  up 

ious  and  dissatisfied.     Ailsie' thought  the  silence 


■■  Thi*  w„v:  said  i.adv  R.-i.v  MacQiiilh.ui,  in  r 
voice  that  made  Ailsie  start,  and  the  august  hostess 
cleared  a  pla.-.'  at  her  *idp  for  our  blushing  heroine. 
The  wax-lights  blazed  on  Lady  Betty's  golden  tur-

So  Ail-ie  *ui<l  good-ln  to  home.  The  next  day 
Lady  Betty  and  Miss  MacQuillan  departed  from 
Cnstlc  Oaigie  for  the  Continent,  where  Lady  Betty 
intended  to  give  Ailsio  a  lady's  education  and  ac- 
complishments. 

Four  years  passed  away,  and  Jamie  and  Mary 
had  grown  accustomed  to  their  improved  circum- 
stances, Lady  Betty  having  proved  as  good  as  her 
n-ord  in  bestowing  on  them  all  those  benefits  which 
she  hVl  enumerated  when  coaxing  Ailsie  away  with 
her.  Whether  they  were  quite  satisfied  with  the 
freak  thatfortnne  had  played  with  them,  they  them- 
selves knew  best.  When  a  neighbor  went  in  to  see 
them,  Mary  had-  always  some  grand  talk  about

"  but  the  Wtfow 
n  shook  her  head,  saying  they  were  .lull 
enough  when  nobody  was  by,  and  feared  Ailsie  had 
forgotten  them. 

Ailsie's  education  being  finished,  Lady  Betty 
set  her  heart  on  an  ambitious  marriage  for  her  fa- 
vorite. She  introduced  her  to  society  in  Paris,  and 
saw  her  making  conquests  right  and  left  at  the  most 
fashionable  watering-places  on  the  Continent.  Ail- 
sie's sparkling  eyes  were  eucluintirigly  fulled  by  her 


et.     But  Ailsie,  though  enjoying  right  merrily

a  handsome  gold  casket  which  stood  upon  her  table, 
unlocked  it,  and  took  out  a  little  kid  slipper  which 
looked  as  if  she  must  have  stolen  it  out  of  Hughie's 
desk.  In  the  sole  of  it  was  pinned  a  slip  of  paper, 
on  which  were  scrawled,  in  a  crude  hand,  the  words : 


"And  the  Lord's  goin'  to  do  it  very  fast,"  said 
Ailsie,  falling  back  into  her  old  way  of  talking  as 
she  looked  at  this  specimen  of  her  old  way  of  writ- 
ing, "if  I  do  not  look  to  't  very  soon,  an'  be  keepin' 
my  word!  An'  God  knows,  Hughie  Devnish,"  she 
added,  as  she  locked  her  box  again  with  a  sharp 
snap,  "you're  more  of  a  gentleman  any  day  the  sun

THE  HAUNTING  PAST. 

Hb  came  to-dny.  He  brought  his  bride 
And  through  the  wood  they  went  with 
We  passed  our  ancient  trysting  tree; 

I  saw  him  turn  his  head  aside, 

And  wondered  if  his  glance  would  fall 
On  letters  carved  by  him  of  yore, 
In  days  that  he  regrets  no  more — 
That  I  with  burning  thoughts  recall. 
The  golden  Past,  that  haants  me  yet, 
Faded  glory  seems  to  him 
light  distance,  cold  and  dim- 
how  men  forget!

eldest  sister,  though  at  the  time  of  their  marriage 
she  was  barely  nineteen,  and  to  my  mind  the  most 
taking  and  lovable  of  the  two.  Of  course  Frank 
thought  differently,  and  perhaps  it  was  as  well  ho

were  taken  to  visit  was  the  buryiie-Lrnaind  set 
apart  for  strangers  who  were  not  Roman  Catholics. 
Mary  Livingston,  who  had  been,  so  they  afterward 
recollected,  silent  and  apparently  preoccupied  all 
that  day,  when  she  first  caught  sight  of  the  ceme- 
tery- .started,  and  seemed  surprised.  After  they  had 
looked  about  them,  and  lamented  the  general  unti- 
diness that  prevailed,  she  suddenly  astonished  them 
all  by  walking  to  one  corner  of  the  ground  more 
elevated  than  the  rest,  where  she  stopped,  and, 
planting  her  foot  on  a  certain  spot,  said  that  she 
was  going  to  relate  a  curious  dream  she  had  had 


in  the  cabin  of  the  yacht  sick  almost  unto  death; 
that  her  husband  and  sister,  standing  by,  seemed, 

was  dead ;  but  though  she  was  all  this  time  con- 
scious of  what  ;ias  taking  place,  yet  she  was  utterly 


burden  on  that  very  spot  where  she  Hi 
grave  had  been  dug,  apparently  fin  I 
posed,  and  she  was  buried — bo  it  seer 


the  same  time  that  they  need  not  be  under  any 
apprehension  of  danger.  Next  day,  however,  her 
symptoms  changed  lor  the  worse,  and  so  rapidly 
that  before  evening  it  was  evident  that  she  was 
sinking  fast,  and  that  no  hopes  could  be  retained  of 
her  recovery.  She  died  during  the  night,  Her 
husband,  as  you  may  imagine,  was  overcome  with 
grief,  but  he  had  to  stifle  bis  feelings,  and  settle 


spot  wh.ae  but  a  lew  days  ago  she  1 


her  dream  to  them  r  and  it  waB  not  till  some  six  or 
seven  months  afterward  that  one  evening,  in  the 
twilight  of  their  Yorkshire  home,  the  memory  of 
the  stroll  through  the  burial-ground,  and  the  event 
connected  with  it,  flashed  across  the  mind  of  the 
widowed  husband.  Remorse  at  the  thought  of  its 
being  now  all  too  late  was  his  first  feeling,  ami  then 
an  irrepressible  desire  seized  him— a  longing  to  see 
if  his  darling's  dream  had  come  true,  and  if  she  had, 
in  reality,  been  buried  alive.  As  fa-t  as  it  was  pus- 
was  with  some  difficulty  that  he  obtained  permis- 
sion to  have  the  grave  opened,  and  when  he  had 
succeeded  he  found  that  his  worst  fears  had  been 
realized.  There  was  no  doubt  left  in  his  mind  that 
his  wife  had  recovered  consciousness  after  she  had 
been  supposed  by  all  to  be  dead,  for  the  body  was 
turned  partly  on  one  side,  as  if  with  the  effort  of 
trying  to  free  itself  from  the  icy  grasp  of  the  tomb.

HORSE-RACING  AT  SARATOGA. 

Thk  second  annual  meeting  of  the  Saratoga  Asso- 
ciation was  the  occasion  of  a  series  of  horse-races 
the  most  splendid  ever  witnessed  on  this  continent. 
Saratoga  was  all  alive  with  excitement  during  the 
entire" week  beginning  August  7.  Every  hotel  and 
boarding-house  and  almost  every  private  house  was 
crowded.  Imagine  1-200  persons  seated  at  dinner 
at  the  Union  Hotel,  a  thousand  at  Congress  Hall, 
and  a  proportionate  number  at  the  other  hotels. 
The  inn-keepers  were  compelled  to  uso  every  sort

MLLITAKF  OCCUPATION. 

WE  have  received  a  long  and  moat  interest- 
ing letter  from  the  interior  of  Alabama, 
from  a  gentleman  who  has  studied  the  rebellion 


)r  3  century,  />r»ridcd  tfnit  tin

us.  A  Georgian  who 
legiance,  said  in  a  public  stage-coach  in  New 
England,  within  a  week  :  "Our  people,  Sir,  are 
not  cowed,  they  arc  overwhelmed  by  numbers." 
And  although  he  was  carefully  moderate  in  his 
remarks,  it  was  plain  enough  that  he  regarded 
the  Government  of  the  United  States— which  he 
invariably  called  "your"  Government — very 
much  as  a  Pole  regards  that  of  Russia. 
Our  Alal 


sentiment  of  our  waywn.nl  >i-ter> 
is  this:  "The  war  just  closed  has  decided  no- 
thing but  the  material  power  of  our  enemies. 
It  has  not  proved  us  wrong  in  any  moral  or 
Constitutional  principle.  The"  problem  of  free 
or  slave  labor,  the  sinfulness  or  patriarchal  char- 
acter of  enforced  servitude,  and  the  paramount 
Authority  of  State  or  National  Government, 
^hese  are  points  as  to  our  own  construction  of 
which  we  will  always  believe  that  we  are  right, 
and  to  which  we  will  adhere  until  they  are  set- 
tled in  our  favor.  What  though  for  the  sake  of 
bread  we  swear  allegiance,  it  is  by  constraint ; 
it  is  a  forced  oath,  and  we  are  not  bound  by  it 
further  than  snits'our  convenience.  Therefore 
our  soldiers  should  not  commit  themselves  in 
this  way  if  they  can  avoid  it ;  but  whether  or 
no,  we  shall  hold  ourselves  ready  to  disregard 
such  obligation,  and  to  take  advantage  of  the 
first  difficulty  in  which  our  corfqucrors  are  in- 


Our  correspondent  then  forcibly  urges 
military  force  of  the  United  States  should  re- 
main to  keep  a  firm  hand  "on  those  who  swear 
falsely,  and  who,  by  secret  plots,  nurse  the  ele- 


the  pen  should  mutually  sustain  each  other." 

Such  is  the  universal  testimony  of  all  wit- 
nesses whose  hearts  are  unalterably  fixed  upon 
Union  and  the  Government,  and  the  conclusion 
is  inevitable.     It  is,  that  the  national  authority 

whole  region  lately  in  rebellion  until  the  testi- 
mony is  equally  universal  that  that  force  may 
be  relaxed  with  perfect  security  to  the  national 
authority.  That  the  entire  region  is  prostrated 
and  exhausted  there  can  be  no  doubt.  That 
the  war  was  prolonged  by  a  terrible  tension  of 
every  energy  and  resource  is  beyond  question. 
That,  as  a  private  letter  from  South  Carolina 
avers,  "  the  only  struggle  here  now  is  a  struggle 
to  live,"  is  evident.  But  no  part  of  the  rebel 
region  was  more  utterly  strained  than  Virginia, 
none  was  more  entirely  exhausted.     Yet  who 

Virginia?  What  man  in  his  senses  would  as- 
sume that,  active  operations  in  the  field  beiug 
over,  the  people  of  Virginia  should  at  once  be 

intrusted  with  the  uncontrolled  political  conduct 


views  stated  by  our  Alabama  correspondent. 
What  would  be  the  consequence  of  recognizing 
such  elections?  Plainly,  the  election  to  Con- 
gress of  men  of  the  Wade  Hampton  school ; 
and  by  the  alliance  of  such  men  with  Copper- 
heads, the  Government  of  the  United  States 
would  be  in  the  hands  of  its  enemies,  and  the 
first  act  of  their  power  would  be 


This  is  a  result  to  be  avoided  at  all  hazards, 
it  it  can  be  avoided  only  by  the  action,  not  by 
e  passivity,  of  the  Government ;  and,  to  that

posed to  abolitionism,  and  by  their  acquiescence

the  political  power  of  their  States  is  indisputi

yet  the  ioyal  people  of  the  State  and 
;  know  that  the  State  and  the 
country  are  not  at  the  mercy  of  their  enemies. 
Mr.  Wade  Hampton  advises  his  confederates 
not  to  emigrate,  but  to  remain  and  attempt  to 
achieve  by  political  methods  what  military  ef- 
fort has  failed  to  accomplish.  The  people  of 
the  United  States  are  fools  for  not  having  sur- 
rendered to  Beauregard's  cannon  at  Fort 
Sumter   if  they  mean   now  to   surrender  to 

the  victory  they  have  won  so  as  to  make  his 
vote  as  futile  as  his  sabre.  This  can  be  done  in 
one  way  only :  by  occupying  them,  not  offens- 
ively but  firmly,  and  securing  the  political  power 
in  every  rebel  State  to  the  whole  loyal  popula- 
tion, white  or  colored.  The  loyal  white  popu- 
lation is  not  politically  friendly  to  the  colored; 
but  we  believe  that  even  they  will  ally  them- 
selves with  black  patriots  rather  than  intrust

General  Grant  may  think,  it  is  not  probable 
that  he  says  all  he  thinks,  because  he  is  a  man 
of  supreme  discretion,  and  because  he  knows 
that  the  one  desperate,  lingering  hope  of  the  re- 
bellion is  that  the  United  States  may  be  in- 
volved in  a  foreign  war.  Such  a  war  would  be 
the  rebels'  opportunity.  Probably  no  man  in 
the  country  so  earnestly  Irishes  for  such  a  war 
as  Wade  Hampton.  While,  therefore,  if  a  for- 
eign war  should  unhappily  be  forced  upon  us, 
we  could  not  decline  it,  it  is  very  important  that 
we  should  not  indulge  in  any  vague  defiance

this  continent  choose  to  unite  and  forbid  any 
European  colonization  here,  they  have  the  power 
of  doing  it.  If  they  mutually  agree  that  they 
will  always  retain  a  republican  form,  they  may 
of  course  do  that.  If  any  one  among  them,  or 
any  combination,  declare  that  no  other  form  shall 
be  tolerated,  then,  if  the  single  government  or 
the  alliance  be  sufficiently  strong,  the  declara- 
tion can  be  enforced.  But  may  the  United 
States,  as  the  chief  power  on  this  comment,  for-

of  Mexico  or  of  any  neighboring  country  against 
all  foreign  powers,  under  all  circumstances,  and 
whatever  provocation  may  have  been  offered  ?

CROTON  WATEB. 

The  capacity  of  the  aqueduct  for  bringing 
water  to  the  city  was  intended  to  be,  and  we 
suppose  is,  equal  to  sixty  million  gallons  per 
diem;  which,  for  a  population  of  one  million 
inhabitants,  gives  sixty  gallons  a  day  to  each 
person.  This  supply  is  much  greater  than  that 
furnished  to  the  inhabitants  of  London  or  Paris, 
or  indeed  to  any  of  the  principal  cities  of  the 
world,  and  for  domestic  purposes  is  not  only 
ample  but  liberal. 

*There  are  times,  however,  in  dry  seasons, 
when  the  flow  of  the  Croton  River  into  the  dam 
whieh  supplies  the  aqueduct  is  not  equal  to  the 
carrying  power  of  the  aqueduct,  at  which  times 
—generally  in  July  and  August— the  water 
stored  in  reservoirs  and  dams  is  called  upon 
with  a  new  to  keep  up  the  maximum  supply  to 
the  city  of  sixty  million  gallons  per  day,  but  the 
Commissioners  of  the  Water  Department  well 
know  that  all  the  means  for  storing  water  yet 
provided  (the  new  reservoir  in  the  Central 
Park  included)  have  proved  wholly  insufficient 
for  this  purpose,  and  that  the  safety  of  the  city, 
with  respect  not  only  to  its  health  hut  also  as 
to  fires,  makes  it  necessary  to  provide  addi- 
tional means  for  storing  water.  To  accomplish 
this  purpose  an  Act  was  applied  for  by  the  Wa- 
ter Department,  and  passed  by  the  last  Legis- 
lature, authorizing  the  Commissioners  to  pur- 
lands  in  the  large  area  constituting  the  Croton 
Valley  as  they  might  think  needful,  for  build- 
ing dams  to  "store  and  impound"  the  waters 
of  tbJkiver,  so  as  to  furnish,  oven  in  seasonB  of 
the  greatest  drought,  the  grand  maximum  of 
sixty  million  gallons  per  day.     But  although 


In. in  I  he  illegal  appointment  of 
sioners  of  the  three  whieh  constitute  the  Board, 
or  the  illegal  holding  over  of  the  two  sought  to 
be  displaced,  account  in  part  for  this  delay ; 
but  we  learn  that  since  the  recent  decision  of 
the  Supreme  Court  in  favor  of  the  Commis- 
sioners sought  to  be  displaced,  the  Board  is 
acting  in  other  matters,  and  we  can  conceive 
of  no  duty  of  greater  importance  to  the  city,  or 
which  should  sooner  engage  their  prompt  and 
careful  attention,  than  that  of  constructing  im- 
mediately one  or  more  of  t

upon  the  island  which  defines  the  city's  limits. 
The  area  of  supply   contains    a3S-«fr   square 


me  llmlsoii  liner  winch  commences  at  Peeks- 
kill  and  extends  with  a  width  of  about  fifteett 
miles  to  a  point  nearly  opposite  Newhurgh,  pro- 
ceeds with  that  width  east  of  the  river  across 
Westchester  and  Putnam  Counties,  forming  the 
Highlands,  on  the  drainage  of  which  the  city 
depends  for  water.  Tho  height  of  this  region 
varies  from  one  hundred  and  fifty  to  about  fif-

for  water  of  high  purity.  In  this  mountain 
region  numerous  lakes  are  dotted  about,  which 
constitute  natural  reservoirs  of  considerable  ex- 
tent, but  the  main  supply  is  of  course  from  the 
copious  rains  which  are  poured  upon  these  ele- 
vated lands  in  greater  quantity  than  upon  any 
other  portion  of  the  State. 

The  city  has  but  to  exercise  due  diligence  to 
keep  the  aqueduct  supplied  to  its  full  extent 
from  these  inexhaustible  sources,  and  we  hope 
to  learn  that  the  Board  will  be  enabled  to  g» 
forward  with  this  work  without  delay.  The 
time  will  undoubtedly  come  when  an  additional 
or  a  larger  aqueduct  Vill  be  required  for  the 
wants  of  the  city,  to  be  supplied  from  artificial 
lakes,  constructed  in  the  deep  and  numerous 
valleys  of  Westchester  and  Putnam  Counties. 
Provident  circumspection  and  foresight  will  be 
exhibited  by  procuring  the  lands  needed  for 
this  purpose  before  they  become  too  highly  im- 
proved or  too  costly  to  justify  their  purchase. 
The  population  of  New  York  and  vicinity  are 
destined  to  a  growth  of  which  history  aiiordd  no 
parallel.  Its  future  is  announced  to  us  by  the 
ample  provision  which  nature  has  made  for 
eclipsing  all  other  cities  of  the  world.  It  has 
water  sufficiently  deep  for  all  purposes  of  com- 
merce out  to  the  sea.  While*  other  Atlantic 
rivers  degenerate  into  falls  at  the  first  step  of 
the  land  upward  from  the  ocean,  the  Hudson 
sweeps  through  this  barrier  at  the  Highlands 
without  impediment,  furnishing  one  hundred 
and  sixty  miles  of  tidal  navigation.  While  oth- 
er Atlantic  cities  have  high  mountains,  varying 
from  one  thousand  to  four  thousand  feet,  be- 
tween them  and  the  trade  and  the  vast  riches 
of  the  great  West,  the  Alleghany  dips  aj  Lit- 
tle Falls  to  three  hundred  and  thirteen  feet 
above  tide  water  (lower  than  Lake  Erie),  ena- 
bling us  to  reach  mighty  regions  of  country  with 
no  difficulty  resulting  from  intervening  eleva- 
tions. Tho  avenues  to  Canada  are  equally  to 
our  advantage  and  the  disadvantage  of  other 
cities.  The  power  of  the  city  to  grow  is  also 
indicated  by  its  surroundings.  The  primary 
system,  with  its  high  and  rolling  grounds,  ex- 
tends to  the  very  coast  at  New  York ;  while

married  a  respectable  woman,  and  they  lived 
la  mm  al.lv  and  decontlj  together  in  the  town  of 
Greenwich,  Connecticut,  working  hard  and  eat- 
ing the  honest  fruit  of  their  toil.  Some  of  their 
neighbors  did  not  like  that  Mr.  Davenport 
should  be  the  husband  of  his  wife,  and  they 
riotously  attacked  his  house.  Being  warned 
away  by  his  mother  they  refused  to  retire,  and 
she  fired  from  the  window,  killing  the  ringlead- 
er. The  coroner's  jury  justified  her,  of  course. 
But  a  certain  Philander  Button  read  Daven- 
port a  lecture  upon  the  occasion,  telling  him 
that,  although  there  was  no  law  to  prevent  his 

nent  danger  in  Greenwich,  and  had  better  go

his  family  in  his  own  house  had  done  any  thing

GOVERNOR  HAMILTON  OF  TEXAS. 
In  the  letter  in  which  he  advises  the  rebel 
leaders  to  remain  in  the  country  "  whose  future 
has  so  little  of  hope, "  Mr.  Wade  Hampton  speaks 
of  the  United  States  Provisional  Governor  of 
South  Carolina,  Mr.  Perky,  as  "  an  honest  man 
and  a  true  patriot."  As  he  had  just  mentioned 
the  Union  men  of  the  State  as  those  "  who  for- 
sook her  in  her  honr  of  need,  and  who  would 
gladly  pull  her  down  to  irretrievable  ruin,"  he 
evidently  does  not  consider  Mr.  Perry  to  be 


.ch  praise  f 


But  there  is  one  Provisional  Governor  whom 
Wade  Hampton  will  not  praise.  That  is  An- 
drew J.  Hamilton  of  Texas.  His  proclama- 
tion to  the  people  of  that  State  is  just  what  it 
should  be.  It  speaks  soberly,  emphatically,  and 
faithfully,  what  we  believe  to  be  the  intention 
of  the  people  of  this  country.  It  dors  not  nneri 
in  any  way  to  palliate  the  rebellion,  nor  to  iden- 
tify the  writer  with  it.     It  neither  speaks  of 

cause,  meaning  treasonr    It  informs  the  Texans

If  age  and  experience  gave  any  title  to  trust  he

away  his  principles,  his  long-tried  fidelity,  his 
regard  for  his  family,  even  his  self-interest.

most  accurate  tellers  make  mistakes  daily,  but 
generally  they  are  found  to  balance  each  other.

Ours  was  a  quaint  old  church,  built  of  rough 
btone,  with  a  peaked  roof,  and  an  odd  little  steeple, 
where  a  set  of  sweet  bells  hung.  It  had  the  queer-

about  which  cherubims  seemed  to  flutter,  and  a

his  body  seemed  as  if  borne  upon  the  air.  A  great

took  it  for  granted  that  there  was  some  dark

William  Trefalden  would  never  take  the  trouble 
to  surround  himself  with  mystery  unless  he  had 
something  to  hide,  and  to  that  something  Abel 
Keckwitch  believed  he  now  possessed  the  key.

on  i  lie  ,<  :d  instead  of  breaking  it. 

At  length  he  resolved  to  go  over  to  Kensing- 
ton and  reconnoitre  the  ground.  Having  come 
to  this  determination  one  Saturday  afternoon 
(on  which  day,  when  practicable,  Mr.  Trefalden 
dismissed  his  clerks  at  five  o'clock),  Abel  Keck- 
witch pushed  forward  with  his  work;  closed  the 
office  precisely  as  St.  Dunstan's  clock  was  strik- 
ing ;  and  instead  of  trudging  as  usual  direct  to 
Pentonville,  turned  his  face  westward,  and  hailed 
the  first  Hammersmith  omnibus  that  came  by. 

It  was  a  lovely  afternoon ;  warm,  sunny,  sum-

early  leafage,  and  that  the  air  beyond  Charing 
Cross  would  be  delicious;  and  he  was  sorely 
tempted  to  take  a  seat  on  the  roof.  But  pru- 
dence prevailed.  To  risk  observation  would  be 
to  imperil  the  very  end  for  which  he  was  work- 
ing ;  so,  with  a  sigh,  he  gave  up  the  air  and  the 
sunshine,  and  took  an  inside  place  next  the  door. 
The  omnibus  soon  filled,  and,  once  closely 
packed,  rattled  merrily  on  till  it  drew  up  for 
the  customary  five  minutes'  rest  at  the  White 
Horse  Cellar.     Then,  of

He  had  weighed  every  word  of  this  apparent- 
ly simple  sentence,  and  purposely  waited  till  the 
omnibus  was  less  crowded  before  delivering  it. 
He  knew  that  the  Kensington  Road,  taken  from 
the  point,  where  Knightsbridge  is  supposed  to 
end,  up  to  that  other  point  where  Hammersmith 
is  supposed  to  begin,  covers  a  fair  three  miles  of 
ground  ;  and  he  wanted  to  be  set  down  as  near 
as  possible  to  the  spot  of  which  he  wan  in  search. 
But  then  it  was  essential  that  he  should  not  seem 
to  be  looking  for  Elton  House,  or  going  to  Elton 
House,  or  inquiring  about  Elton  House  in  any 
way;  so  he  worded  his  little  speech  with  an  in-

CONSTANCE  KENT. 

Five  years  ago  the  English  public  was  startltd 

from  its  usual  quiet  by  a  murder  which  appeared  to 

Saville  Kent,  belonged

stabbed,  and  discovered  the  next  morning  wrapped 
in  a  blanket  belonging  to  his  bed.  This  occurred  at 
Road-hill  House,  Wiltshire,  near  Frome.  Road-liiU 
House  was  at  that  time  inhabited  by  Mr.  Kent,  who 
held  the  office  of  factory  inspector.  Including  three 
servants,  his  family  consisted  of  twelve  persons. 
He  had  been  married  twice,  and,  besides  his  wife 
and  her  three  children,  there  were  in  the  house  three- 
daughters  and  a  $<

and  Mrs.  Kent's  bedroom  on  the  first-floor,  and 
asked  for  the  child.  Ho  was  not  thore,  however, 
aud,  although  search  was  immediately  made,  it  was 
some  time  before  his  dead  body,  wrapped  in  a  blanket 

from  the  garden.  The  throat  was  cut  from  ear  to 
ear ;  there  were  two  or  threo  wounds  on  the  body, 
and  there  were  also  marks  of  strangulation  on  the 
throat.  There  was  nothing  to  show  where  the 
strangling,  or  attempted  strangling,  took  place ; 
but  the  wounds  bad  obviously  been  inflicted  in  the 
privy,  because  a  large  quantity  of  blood  was  found 
there,  and  nowhere  else.  As  one  of  the  windows 
of  the  drawing-room  on  the  ground-floor  was  open  - 
when  the  loss  of  the  child  was  discovered,  it  was  at 
first  supposed  that  some  one  might  have  entered

house,  else  how  could  the  murderer  have  found  the 
way  in  the  dark  down  the  passages  and  through  the 
yard  to  the  outhouse?  Besides,  there  was  a  fierce 
watch-dog  in  the  yard,  which  would  have  given 
the  alarm  on  the  approach  of  a  stranger.  It  was

On  the  10th  of  August,  1863,  Constance  Kent, 
a  friendless  girl,  came  to  St.  Mary's  Hospital  in

the  court  was  crowded  in  every  part,  many  persons 
being  utterly  unable  to  gain  admission.  The  Rev 
A.  Wagner  and  Miss  Gream  (Lady  Superioress  of 
tho  institution  at  Brighton)  occupied  two  conspicu-

Mr.  Justice  Willes  continued:

practical  methods  of  giving  the  franchise  to  the 

they  are  probably  agreed  that  it  would  be  best 
if  it  were  given  by  the  white  citizens  of  those 


during  the  war,  and  which  is  now  the  vast  ma- 
jority of  the  country,  is  not  a  question.  Those 
who  hold  to  the  separate  sovereignty  of  the 
States— who  repudiate  equal  rights  by  justify- 
ing local  majorities  in  destroying  them,  as  Mr. 
Douglas  did — who  secretly  justify  the  rebell- 
ion, and  are  willing  to  pay  the  rebel  debt  or 
repudiate  our  own,  by  way  of  brotherly  kind- 
ness and  conciliation,  can  form  no  enduring 
alliance  with  those  who  elected  Abraham  Lin- 
coln and  Andrew  Johnson.  Parties  ulti- 
mately spring  from  real  differences.  Liberal 
and  Tory  are  not  the  names  of  a  policy  merely, 
but  of  a  principle,  which  controls  policy. 

"We  regard  the  appointment  of  Mr.  King, 
therefore,  as  a  good  omen  of  the  continued 
harmony  of  the  Union  party,  which  is  and  must

THE  PKESIDENT'S  POLICY. 

There  is  a  great  deal  said  about  the  Presi- 
dent's policy  of  reconstruction ;  and  in  some 
quarters  there  is  a  very  liberal  and  ludicrous 
denunciation  of  those  who  oppose  it.  One 
paper  especially,  which  was  very  anxious  in  the 
early  spring  of  1861  that  the  Montgomery  Con- 
stitution should  be  accepted  by  the  loyal  citi- 

President  to  strike  out  right  and  left  and  crush 
Jacobins  and  disorganizes,  anil  all  who  with- 
stand his  policy.  Who  these  terrible  Jacobin 
fellows  are,  neither  the  virtuous  patriot  who 
calls  for  their  destruction  nor  any  body  else 


He  has  also  stated 


opposes  it  ?    Nobody- 


hus  lai  preliminary,  experimental. 

Suppose,  now,  that  the  Convention  of  Mis- 
issippi  cleanses  the  State  Constitution  of  slav- 
i-y,  but  provides  that  the  colored  freemen 
hall  neither  bear  arms,  nor  testify  in  courts  of 
justice,  nor  marry  except  under  peculiar  con- 
litions — shall,  in  fact,  while  they  cease  to  be 
hattel  slaves,  become  a  purely  pariah  class- 


like  Howell  Cobb  or  Wade  Hampton, 
tools,  should  be  elected  to  Congress— 
■  President's  policy  require  the  neces- 


prevent   their  constituents  being  taxed  to  pa; 

the  President's  policy  require  that  the  nationa 
credit  shall  be  endangered  ?

TREATMENT  OF  THE  PATIENT. 

A  writer  in  the  Evening  Post,  in  reply  to 
mr  quotation  from  its  columns  to  the  effect 
hat  the  late  rebels  are  not  well-affected  to  the 
National  Government,  and  our  consequent  con- 

:he  country  to  be  carernl  in  prescribin 

erms  of  reorganization,  says: 


and  violent  resistance  of  the  Government," 


the  rebel  authorities  for  peace  upon  the  basis 
of  union  and  emancipation,  they  should  have 
safe-conduct  to  and  from  Washington.  Mr. 
Greeley,  whose  heart  had  died  within  him  at 
the  contemplation  of  what  seemed  to  him  the 
hopeless  peril  of  the  country,  wrote  to  the 
agents  that  if  they  did  wish  to  negotiate,  he 
was  authorized  to  say  that  the  President  would 
give  them  a  safe-conduct  to  Washington  ;  but 
he  did  not  mention  the  conditions  absolutely 
imposed  by  Mr.  Lincoln.  Of  course,  when  the 
agents  afterward  discovered  that  there  were  con- 
ditions which  had  not  previously  been  named, 
they  accused  the  President  of  duplicity,  and 
Mr."GnixLhvdid  not  defend  him. 

The  difficulty  arose  from  the  fact  that  Mr. 
Greeley  concealed  the  conditions  which  the 
President  demanded,  and  consequently  put  both 
parties  at  cross  purposes. 

explanation  does  not  change  the  facts. 
thought,  as  he  undoubtedly  did,  that  no 
precedent  conditions  should  be  prescribed,  ho 
mould  have  tried  to  persuade  the  President  to 
agree  with  him.  If  he  could  not  do  so,  he 
should  have  refused  to  act  as  an  agent.  Mr. 
Greeley,  by  his  own  account,  was  very  much 
of  the  mind  of  the  Chicago  Convention,  that  the 

the  best  terms  we  could  get.  Indeed  from  the 
fatal  moment  in  the  early  winter  of  I860,  when 
he  said  what  was  at  once  interpreted  by  the 
rebels  to  be  a  justification  of  the  right  of  seces- 
sion upon  the  principles  of  the  revolution,  down 
to  his  obsequious  description  of  Clay,  Thomp- 
son, and  Sanders,  as  "distinguished  Ameri- 
cans of  the  other  party  to  our  civil  war,"  Mr. 
Greeley's  faith  in  the  final  triumph  of  the 
Union  was  apparently  very  flickering.  Cer- 
tainly a  man  who  doubted  and  desponded  and 
despaired  was  not  a  proper  agent  for  a  man 
like  Mr.  Lincoln,  whose  tranquil  faith  never 
faltered. 

It  is  pleasant  to  have  the  facts  in  this  ease 
clearly  and  conclusively  stated  as  they  now 
are.  That  the  country  would  have  been  re- 
lieved and  gratified  if  the  whole  correspond- 
ence had  been  published  at  the  time  is  unde- 
niable. Nobody  had  ever  so  little  reason  to 
fear  the  fullest  publicity  for  all  he  wrote  and 
said   as   Mr.  Lincoln.      And  we   have   little 


publication  of  all  the  facts,  except  f< 
tance  to  pain  and  possibly  depress 
:ry  by  the  disheartening  view  of  the  i

quite  unprepared  for  the  gratitude  whirl:  fought 
him  out  and  insisted  on  making  a  friend  of  him— a 
grntiiode  tinged,  po-sihly,  with  the  hope  of  making 
thai  vigorous  pen  of  farther  use  hereafter.  On  the 
principle  of  taking  thankfully  the  goods  the  gods 
provide,  he  had  accepted  the  invitation  to  Newport. 
It  was  a  change  for  him— a  glimpse  of  the  luxury 
he  could  not  help  liking,  as  every  .-esthetic  nature 
likes  beauty;  a  curious  study  of  life  ami  character; 
and  on  the  whole  he  was  enjoying  himself  well. 
He  bad  a  certain  fcarle-s.  self-respecting  pride  and 
courage  which  had  attracted  my  attention  from  the 
first.  But  he  and  1  were  both  in  precisely  the  same 
condition— too  poor  ourselves  to  be  able  to  afford 
the  luxury  of  marrying  poverty;  and  with  this  f„3t 
kept  well  before  my  eyes  I  thought  an  acquaint-

bad  great  dark  eyes,  ripe  red  lips,  cheeks  whereon 

tempting  figure.  She  resembled  my  mother,  that 
impetuous  mother  wdio  had  married  for  love.  Mar- 
garet was  equally  beautiful,  in  a  different  way. 
She  was  like  my  father— all  Ayrault.  She  had  a 
certain  proud  inipcnoiisiie-s,  a  haughty  grace  which 
became  well  her  blonde  beauty  .She  had  hair  lit- 
erally golden  in  color,  blue  eyes,  a  figure  not  very 
full,  but  tall  and  stately,  features  exquisitely  cut, 
and  the  most  perfect  complexion  I  ever  saw.  As

A  .soil  that  lias  undergone  exhaustion  of  certain  of  its

POLITICAL  PROSPECTS. 

HOW  shall  we  vote  in  the  autumn  electic 


For  although  no  issue  is  ns  yet  distinctly  made, 
a  very  grave  issue  soon  will  be,  that  of  reorgan- 
ization—and he  must  look  to  the  antecedents 
and  composition  of  parties  to  infer  what  their 
prolmhle  fiction  will  be. 

The  Union  party  comprises  the  great  body 
of  enlightened  American  citizens  who  have  al- 
ways faithfully  striven  for  greater  justice,  for 
universal  liberty  regulated  by  law,  and  for  free- 
dom of  speech  and  the  press  every  where  in  the 
country.      They  have  unfalteringly  asserted  the

ernment  is  supreme,  that  the  stale-  are  proper- 
ly subordinated  to  it,  and  that  State  rights  are 
purely  local  and  secondary.  Therefore  they 
have  been  steadily  faithful  in  the  great  and  suc- 
cessful struggle.  They  have  never  tampered 
with  rebellion.  They  have  never  justified  trea- 
son nor  excused  traitors ;  and  in  the  death- 
grapple  with  rebellion  they  have  wisely  used

well  chosen  for  the  service.  Humanity  was 
not  utterly  extinguished  in  his  heart.  He  re- 
ported the  actual  condition  of  the  hospital. 
"Being  a  novice,  for  some  of  the  things  I  said 
I  received  a  written  reprimand. "  In  his  charge 
there  was  a  boy  of  fifteen  or  sixteen  years  of 
age.  He  had  the  scurvy  and  gangrene.  He 
begged  the  Doctor  to  bring  him  a  potato  or  a 
biscuit.     The  Doctor  smuggled  them  to  him  in 

emaciated :   his  sores  gangrened,  and  he  died 

from  the  hospital  was  very  offensive,"  testifies 
the  Doctor.  The  sick  prisoners  were  confined 
"like  ants  and  bees."  "I  feel  safe  in  saying 
seventy-five  per  cent,  of  those  who  died  might 
have  been  saved  had  they  been  properly  cared 

Meanwhile  "  Colonel   Freesiantle   of  the 

Wikz  was  first  indicted  for  complicity  with 
RoBiiKT  Edmund  Lee  and  James  A.  Seddon 
in  a  conspiracy  to  destroy  the  prisoners.  Then 
the  names  of  Lee  and  Seddon  were  dropped. 
It  was  alleged  that  General  Grant  requested 
that   they  slwjuld  be  omitted.      But  we  are  in-

The  General  has  a  beautiful  residence  at  Galena,  the 
gift  of  hi.  townspeople,  the  cost  of  which  was  about 
$16,000.     In  the  evening  there  was  a  brilliant  illu-

'III.-  Metropolitan  Toli."  District  comprises  New- 
York,  Kings,  Westchester,  and  Richmond  counties, 
and  the  towns  of  Newtown,  Flushing,  and  Jamaica, 
in  Queens  County.  Mr.  Thomas  C.  Acton  is  Presi- 
dent of  the  Board  of  Police  Commissioners.  Tho 
chief  executive  officer  of  the  department  is  Mr.  John 
A.  Kessf.dt,  who  has  coniniandcd  the  police  force 
during  the  most  perilous  periods  the  metropolis  ever 
experienced.  He  gives  his  orders  through  the  In- 
spectors, of  whom  there  are  four.  viz. :  Daniel 
Carfextp.r,  Gkorge  W.  Dilks,  James  Leonard, 
and  John  S.  Foi-k.  Of  the  first  three  Inspectors 
we  give  portraits  on  the  page3  ahove  referred  to. 
Connected  with  the  department  there  is  a  board  of 
ten  surgeons  and  six  assistants. 

The  preliminary  examination  of  the  candidates 
for  the  office  of  policeman  is  no  joke.  The  candi- 
date is  thumped  and  pommeled  until  it  is  certain 
that  there  is  no  trace  of  a  consumptive  tendency  or 
other  weakness  in  his  constitution.  Once  a  mem- 
ber, however,  be  remains  in  office  during  good  be-

convicted  of  any  crime,  or  who  can  not  read  or 
write  English  understanding! v.  The  city  is  di- 
vided into  thirty-two  precincts,  to  each  of  which 
belongs   a  captain,  four  sergeants  (usually),  and 


f-trueted  in  military  drill  and  baton  exercise.  Cap- 
tain C'OPELAND,  chief  of  the  Broadway  squad,  is 
drill-officer  of  the  force. 

The  Sanitary  Company  of  the  police  consists  of  a 
captain,  one  sergeant,  and  thirty-six  men.  Twenty- 
one  of  these  are  occupied  in  the  examination  of 
tenement  houses,  yards,  sinks,  and  nuisances  of  all 
descriptions.  The  number  of  reports  made  by  this 
squad  during;  the  year  ending  October  81,  18G2, 
was  27.631.  Seven  men  aro  detailed  as  truant 
officers,  five  of  whom  visit  our  public  schools  daily, 
and  ascertain  from  the  teachers  the  number  of  tru-

tho  number  of  persons  living  between  40  and  50  is 
but  a  very  trifle  more  than  half  the  number  living 
between  30  and  40;  and  that  the  whole  number  of 
persons  living  over  50  years  of  age  is  but  four-fifths 
the  number  living  between  the  ages  of  40  and  50. 
Thus,  in  New  York  county,  there  were  living  be- 
tween the  ages  of  30  and"  40  (in  the  year  1850) 
82,305  persons;  between  40  and  50  there  were

Another  consideration  also  should  be  taken  into 
the  account.     The  number  of  arrests  made  in  any 

than  the  number  of  rvimmah.  Those  addicted  to 
irregular  and  disorderly  habits  usually  acquire  those 
habits  before  the  age  of  twenty— the  majority  of 
them  before  fifteen ;  and  it  is  well  known  that  after 
the  latter  age  tho  same  persons  are  repeatedly  ar- 
rested. The  54,000  arrests  may  not  involve'ovor 
20,000  criminals.  It  is  to  be  regretted  that  our 
police  reports  do  not  give  the  number  of  persons 
arrested  as  well  as  the  number  of  arrests. 

Among  the  occupations  involved  in  the  arrests 


clerks  come  in  for  a  goodly  number  (1336),  also  th< 
cartmen  (1215).  There  were  3562  arrests  of  pros 
titutes.      Of  butchers   there  were  462,   of  black. 

smiths  396,  of  carpenters  MU,  of  expressmen  240,  of 


arrests  23.432  wen-  of  married  and  31,319  of  single 
persons.  Of  those  who  could  not  read  or  write  there

CHAPTER  XL 

Had  Saxon  been  suddenly  plunged  into  a  cold 
bath  it  could  scarcely  have"  brought  him  to  his 
senses  more  rapidly  than  did  "

"It  isn't  as  if  he" 
said  he,  half  aloud,  as  he  sat  himself  down, 
"quite  chop-fallen,"  at  the  foot  of  a  great  oak, 
in  an  unfrequented  hollow  of  the  park.  And 
then  one  unpleasant  recollection  evoked  another, 
and  he  remembered  how  William  Trefalden  had 
joked  with  him  about  fetters  of  flowers,  and 
made  him  almost  angry  by  so  doing;  and  how 
he  had  boasted  of  himself  as  more  invulnerable 
than  Achilles.  He  also  remembered  that  his 
cousin  had  especially  inquired  whether  he  had 
not  yet  been  called  upon  to  subscribe  to  the 
Italian  fund,  and  had  given  him  much  good  ad- 
vice as  to  what  his  conduct  should  be  when  that 
emergency  might  arise.    To  put  his  name  down

Thinking  thus,  he  remembered  that  he  had 
authorized  her  to  double  the  amount.     What  if

But  his  heart  told  him  that  liberty  had  played 
a  very  unimportant  part  in  the  " 


CHAPTER  XXI. 


Signor  Colonna,  Lord  Castletowers,  and  Major 

Vanghan,  and  the  subject 
-    dispatch  i 


and  Saxon  Trefalden' 


The  dispatch  was  undoubtedly  an  important 
one,  and  contained  more  stirring  news  than  any 
which  h.i.l  tran-pin'it  tVnin  Italy  since  the  Ntipo-

"It  is  a  i 

dreamed  that  Trefalden  \

«  I  was  not  aware  that  Mr.  Trefalden  had 
hitherto  interested  himself  ahout  Italy  in  any 
way,"  observed  Major  Vnughan,  coldly. 

"  Well,  he  has  interested  himself  now  to  some 
purpose.^    Besides,  he  has  bnt  just  come  into  his

■k  to  the  dispatch  ami  discus-cd  the  position 
affairs  in  Sicily.  Thence  they  passed  on  to  ( 
question  of  supplies,  and  consulted  ahout 
best  means  of  bestowing  Saxon's  donation, 
last  they  agreed  that  the  larger  share  should 
sent  out  in  money,  and  the  rest  expended  on 

'It's  a  heavy  sum,"  said  the  dragoon.     "If 
I  want  a  messenger  to  take  it  over  I  am  at 

'  Thanks.     Can  yon  go  the  day  after  to-mor-

"Are  those  his  figures,  Signor  Colonna?    I 

To  which  the  Italian  replied  verv  eoniposedlv, 

"No,  they  arc  Olimpia's." 

Major  Vnughan  rose,  and  walked  over  to  the 

"I  shall  n*k  P-rlahU  to  .jive  me  something

"It  never  entered  into  the  sphere  of  mv  cal-

said  Major  Vnughan.  "  But  you  have  enjoyed 
the  advantage  of  her  acquaintance  longer'thnn 
I  have,  so  I  defer  to  your  better  judgment." 

At  this  moment  the  door  opened,  and  the  Earl 

"I  can't  find  Trefalden  any  where,"  said  he. 
"I  have  looked  for  him  all  over  the  house,  in 
the  stables,  and  nil  through  the  gardens.  Ho 
was  last  seen  on  the  terrace,  talking  to  Miss 
Colonna,  and  nobody  knows  what  has  become 

"He's  somewhere  in  the  park,  of  course,  "said 
Colonna. 

"I  don't  think  so.  I  met  my  mother  as  I 
came  in.  She  has  been  wandering  abont  the 
park  all  the  morning,  and  has  not  seen  him."

journal  of  "  Unionism"  like  that  of  the  Mobile

[Harper's  Weekly]  culminates  in  its  issue  of  the 
6th  instant  [August]."  The  excellent  South 
proceeds  to  describe  a  wood-cut  in  that  num- 
ber, and  characterizes  General  Leb  as  "great 
and  good,"  and  speaks  of  the  late  rebel  citizens 
of  the  United  States  .as  "a  people"  whom  the 
brave  and  good  and  noblo  every  where  respect 
and  admire  for  their  "sacrifices,  endurance, 
and  heroism."  The  South  concludes  in  unison 
with  the  Mobile  Netos:  "This  wicked,  negro-

Where  do  we  find  proof  of  acceptance?  The

Slavery  is  abolished  by  the  war.  Does  the

we  expect  men  to  renounce  in  a  day  the  cher-

is  precisely  what  we  not  only  do  not  expect,

HOW  SHALL  WE  SAVE  OUR- 
SELVES? 
Mr.  Oliver  Ckarlick,  the  President  of  the 
Long  Island  Railroad,  upon  which  a  frightful 
and  wanton  murder  of  five  persons  was  recent- 
ly committed,  says  that  the  Company  do  not 
station  a  signal-man  at  the  curve  where  the 
slaughter  took  place  because  they  do  not  think 
it  noecssarv  to  do  so.  We  trust  that  the  pub- 
lic will  let  Mr.  Oliver  Chahlick  understand, 
in  the  most  emphatic  manner,  that  it  does  think 
a  signal-man  necessary  at  that  point.  Tho 
fearful  and  bloody  experience  of  the  last  year 
shows  that  railroad  presidents  and  directors 
and  agents  do  not  think  it  necessary  to  take 

insure  the  safety  of  travelers ;  and  it  also  shows 
that  travelers  have  a  weakly  good-humored 
wav  of  submitting  to  the  most  perilous  irregu- 
larities, to  the  most  filthy  and  wretched  ac-

Nor  is  the  South  far  behind  the  West  in  our 
markets.  Notwithstanding  all  that  lias  been 
said  about  the  poverty  of  the  South,  purchasers 
from  that  section  are  arriving  lierc in  droves,  and 
all  seem  able  to  pay  for  what  they  want.  Of 
course,  merchants  are  not  over-anxious  to  sell  on 
credit  to  the  men  who  mode  the  rebellion  an  ex- 
cuse for  cheating  their  Northern  creditors.  But 
every  one  is  willing  to  sell  for  cash ;  and  this, 


goods  have  been  sold  for  cash  within  the  past 
months  for  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars, 
and  the  money  paid  in  greenbacks.     One  little

that,  during  the  last  Jiffy-four  years,  Paraguay 
has  had  three  absolute  despots.  Its  House  of

The  Dictator  Lopez  is  the  sole  foreign  trader

It  is  a  penal  offense  to  undertake  commerce  or

out  of  the  first  charge  the  names  of  General  Lee, 
James  A.  Seddon,  Lucius  D.  Northrop,  and

On  the  24th  Louis  Schade  and  0.  H.  Baker 
appeared  as  counsel  for  the  prisoner.  The  prisoner

prosecution.  A  letter  written  by  the  prisoner  at 
Andersonville,  May  7,  lwtf,  to  General  Wilson 
was  offered  in  evidence.'  The  prisoner,  in  this  let-

would  not  look  up.     She  knew  quite  well  that 

of  her  influence,  but  she  had  resolved  to  say  no- 
thing.    The  great  work  was  hers  to  do,  and  she 

less.  So  Colonna  went  back,  unaided,  to  the 
charge,  and  argued  till  Saxon  was,  if  not  con- 
vinced, at  least  persuaded. 

And  then  it  was  arranged  that  Saxon  and 
Vaughan  should  go  up  to  town  together  on  the 
following  day— the  millionaire  to  draw  out  his 
money,  and  the  dragoon  to  dispose  of  it  as  Sig- 
nor  UoloniJii  might  direct.

in  the  proudest  records  of  the  country,"  espe- 
cially in  the  chapter  entitled  "The  Chicago 
Platform;"  and  "that  it  is  ready  to  meet  the

"The  Democracy"  of  New  York  having  thus 
complacently  referred  to  the  proud  record  of 
their  contemptuous  rejection  by  the  people,

investing  in  the  United  States  instead  of  Great 
Britain  they  can  get  six,  if  not  seven,  per  cent. 
for  their  money.  If  they  got  six,  the  £20,000

of  £800  ;  the  £5o,ooo  man  an  income  of  £3ooo

Years  went  by  ;  and  as  the  girla  grew  to  wi 


Miss  Holme-Pierrepoi 
her   aunt,    the   Conn 


of  Glastonbury,   and 


vailed  in  the  days  of  George  the  Third.  Before 
the  close  of  that  season  she  was  engaged  to  Har- 
old Wyuiicelytle,  fourth  Earl  of  Castletowers, 
nnd  early  in  the  spring  time  of  the  following 
year,  while  her  young  sister  was  yet  in  the 
school-room,  the  beautiful  Alethea  was  married 
from  her  aunt's  house  in  Somersetshire,  where 
the  ceremony  was  privately  performed  hv  the 
Bishop  of  Bath  and  Wells. 

In  the  mean  while  it  was  arranged  that  Lord 
Holmes's  younger  daughter  was  to  be  spared  all 
those  dirlieiihies  and  dangers  that  beset  a  matri- 

was   to  marry   Captain    llolnie-Picrrepoint,   of 

A  more  simple  and  admirable  scheme  could 
not  have  been  devised.  Captain  Holme-Pierre- 
point  was  her  father's  heir,  and  it  was  of  course 
desirable  that  Elizabeth's  dowry  should  remain 
in  the  family.     Then  Elizabeth  was  very  young 


This  marriage  was  (

daughter  named  Alethea  Claude.     Well-nigh 

Holme  Castle,  and  led  a  life  of  profound  seclu- 

self  from  his  Parliamentary  duties,  and  he  was 

rarely  seen  beyond  his  own  park  gates.     Then 

fantastic  stories  began  to  be  told  of  his  temper 

sudden  and  unprovoked  paroxysms  of  rage  ;  that 

he  had  equally  strange  fits  of  silence;  that  he 

abhorred    the   light  of  day,  and  sat  habitually 

forty  hours  at  a  time  ;  and  a  hundred  other  tales 

equally  bizarre  and  improbable.    At  length,  when 

the  world  had  almost  forgotten  him,  and  his  lit-

Holme  -  Pierrepoint   was   still    nanasome,    ana 

only  forty-eight  years  of  age. 

Incredible  as  it   may  seem,  however,  Lord 
Holmes's  second  daughter  was  by  no  means  so 

plation  of  her  destiny.  Like  most  very  young 
girls  she  had  already  dreamed  dreams,  and  she 
could  not  bring  herself  to  accept  l.'aptain  ilolme- 
Pierrepoint  as  the  realization  of  that  ideal  lover 
"  "  delighted  to  picture, 
sorely  needed  something  to 
j  to  live  for,  something  to 
worship  ;  but  she  knew  that  she  could  not  pos- 
sibly live  for,  or  cling  to,  or  worship  Captain 
Holme-Pierrepoint.    Above  all,  she  shrunk  from 

In  order,  therefore,  to  avoid  this  terrible  con- 

the  younger  Miss  Holme  -  Pierrepoint 


It  was  a  frightful  blow  to  the  pride  of  the 
whole  Pierrepoint  family.  The  Talhots  and  the 
Wynneelylles  were  of  opinion  that  Lord  Holmes 

nothing  better  was  to  be  expected  from  the 
daughter   of  a   nursery  governess ;    but   Lord 

Holmes  himself  regarded  the  matter  in  a  very 
different  light.  Harsh  and  eccentric  as  he  was, 
this  old  man  had  really  loved  his  younger  child; 
but  now  his  whole  heart  hardened  toward  her, 


true,  as  her  father  had  suffered.  Her  heart  was 
not  wrung  like  his— probably  because  she  had 
less  heart  to  be  wrung ;  but  her  pride  was  even 
more  deeply  outraged.  Neither  of  them  made 
any  effort  to  recall  the  fugitive.  Thoy  merely 
blotted  her  name  from  their  family  records; 
burned,  unread,  the  letters  in  which  she  im- 
plored their  forgiveness,  and  behaved  in  all  re- 
spects,  not  as  though  she  were  dead,  but  as

THE  BREAKING   OF  THE  ATLANTIC   TELEGRAPH   CABLE  ON  BOARD   THE  "GREAT  EASTERN,

pered.  This  discovery  allayed  the  excitement 
caused  by  the  suspicion  of  malice,  but  it  damnified 
the  character  of  the  cable,  as  it  revealed  a  strong 
suicidal  tendency  on  its  part.  As  yet  that  grave 
question  of  accident  or  design  is  undecided.     Our

THE  PRESIDENT'S  EXPERIMENT. 


W1 


■    full    :. 


ble  speech  of  General  John  A.  Lo- 
gan's in  Jacksonville,  Illinois.  The  General 
says  that  the  policy  of  reconstruction  adopted 
by  the  Administration  is  an  experiment,  and 
that  it  is  the  duty  of  all  good  citizens  to  stand 
heartily  by  the  President  until  it  is  proved  a 


Conservatism  now  occupies.  The  Democratic 
Conventions,  in  breathless  haste  to  cat  their 
own  words  of  the  last  few  years,  vociferate 
their  adherence  to  the  President's  policy,  nml 
amiable  poets  of  the  morning  press  behold  vast 
hosts  of  Jacobins  marshaling  under  blood-red 
banners  to  oppose  it.  But  as  the  President  is 
merely  trying  an  experiment,  it  is  rather  pre- 
mature vehemently  to  support  or  rancorously 
to  oppose  his  policy;  nor  is  any  country  in  a 
very  ' '  parlous  state"  when  its  Jacobins  are  the 
most  intelligent, 


pari  of  in  population. 

The  President,  acting  from  the  necessity  of 
the  case  and  for  the  public  safety,  has  set  aside 
the  civil  officers  elected  in  various  States  un- 
der their  Constitutions,  and  has  appointed  pro- 
visional Governors  of  his  own.  He  has  further 
prohibited  thirteen  certain  classes  of  voters  un- 
der the  Constitutions  of  those  States  from  exer- 
cising the  right  of  suffrage,  and  has  authorized 
a  certain  number,  who  are  also  qualified  by  the 
State  Constitutions,  to  vote  for  members  of  a 
Convention.  This  Convention  is  to  remodel 
the  existing  State  Constitutions,  and  to  pro- 
ceed, under  them,  to  elect  State  officers  and 
representatives  in  Congress.  The  Constitu- 
tions and,  by  consequence,  the  validity  of  the 
officers  elected,  are  to  be  submitted  to  the 
Government  for  approval.  In  the  President's 
words,  the  Convention  is  "to  present  such  a 
republican  form  of  State  government  as  will 
entitle  the  State  to  the  guaranty  of  the  United 
States  therefor,  and  the  people  to  protection  by 

tion,  and  domestic  violence." 

This  is  all  that  the  President  has  done.  This 
is  his  whole  policy  thus  far.  It  is,  as  General 
Logan  says,  "an  experiment."  The  Presi- 
dent virtually  says  to  certain  persons  in  the 
States,  "  Se',  what  you  can  do.  Suggest  your 
plan."  But  he  does  not  say  that  the  plan  shall 
be  adopted.  He  does  not  promise  that  the 
Constitution  shall  be  approved  and  the  elec- 
tions- under  it  legitimated.  The  very  object 
he  has  in  view  is  to  try  the  temper  of  the  class 
of  the  population  which  he  selects,  to  prove 
whether  the  local  political  power  of  the  States 
may  be  safely  confided  to  them.  Nor  does  he 
assnme  finally  to  decide  so  vital  a  question. 
He  leaves  it,  where  it  belongs,  to  the  nation  it- 
self, to  the  representatives  of  the  people. 

The  Democratic  resolutions  and  the  amiable 
chatter  about  opposition  assume  that  it  is  not 
an  experiment :  that  the  President  has  declared 
the  Constitution  framed  by  the  voters  ho  has 
selected,  and  the  elections  held  under  it,  to  be 
the  law  without  further  process  or  approval. 
This  is  exactly  what  he  has  not  done,  and  could 
have  no  pretense  of  authority  fordoing.     If  lie 

of  persons  in  the  States  named  by  him  should 

frame  a  Constitution,  ilia!  the  elections  should 


upon  the  State  should  he  recognized  as  having 

re-umed  all  its  relat 

Representatives  and 

ted  to  Congress  aa  a 

deed,  he  would  have  laid  down  a  policy,  and 

the  whole  country  would  have  crackled  in  op- 

But  the  President  is  much  too  sagacious  a 
man  to  have  declared  within  less  than  two 
months  after  the  surrender  of  Lee  that  a  Con- 

Macbeth  or  Wade  Hampton  might  devise 
should  be  accepted  by  the  loyal  people  of  the 
United  States.  He  said,  simply,  "Let  us  find 
out  where  we  are.     If  May 


;  Hampton  should  happen  to  be  wise,  bc 
the  better.     There  is  no  harm  in  trying. 
If  they  are  not  wise,  we  can  try  again." 

Thus  far  the  President  is  merely  trying  an 
experiment,  and  whether  we  think  the  princi- 
ples upon  which  it  proceeds  promise  success  01 
failure,  we  ought  loyally  and  patiently  to  awail 
the  event.  So  says  General  Logan  ;  so  says 
Maine;  so  says  Vermont;  so 


THE  AUTUMN  ELECTIONS. 

The  autumn  elections  in  Maine,  Vermont, 

and  California  show  little  sign  of  that  great  and 
sweeping  reaction  against  the  Union  party  of 
which  there  have  been  so  many  dismal  fore- 
bodings. Indeed,  upon  a  smaller  vote,  the 
Union  majority  is  proportionately  larger  than 
it  was  last  year. 

The  reason  is  plain.  In  the  utter  wreck  of 
its  hopes,  prophecies,  and  policies,  the  Demo- 
cratic party  has  been  engaged  all  the  autumn, 
from  Maine  to  Iowa,  in  coming  as  near  to  the 
i  ii'.rn  joi'iy  .nvi  :■,:■  j.niKtj'les  as  possible,  but 
with  very  various  result.  In  Mtrne  the  effort 
was  laudable.  In  Pennsylvania  the  old  cur- 
rents were  too  strong,  and  the  Convention  was 
like  a  congregation  of  dead  men  solemnly  af- 
firming obsolete  falsehoods.  In  New  Jersey 
the  result  was  characteristic.  The  Copperhead 
gentlemen,  who  knew  that  the  war  had  settled 
their  position  unless  they  i 


rebellion,    and  then 


.   Mum   >lai 


of  warriors, 
ediately  atoned  for  his  error  in  hav- 
for  a  short  time  a  soldier  by  a  ribald 
I-. ■•  eh,  appealing  to  the  hatred  of  one  class  of 
citizens  for  another.  In  Ohio  Vallandigham 
rukd  the  Convention,  and  doomed  the  distract- 
ed party  to  deeper  humiliation.  But  in  New 
York  they  made  a  clean  breast  of  it.  The  party 
"  iced  straight  al 
always  looked  i 


which,    wiili.    :

snatched 

This  was  the  crowning  proof  offered  by  the 
most  sagacious  body  of  its  opponents  that  the 
Union  party  is  the  party  of  the  country,  and 
that  success  is  to  be  expected  only  in  the  de- 

;:!/■(.•  thai   its  principles  are  proiew.-J.. 

Yet  notwithstanding  this  amusing  revelation 
■  a    the  fact   lhai.   ihe  Dc-ntocvahc  parly  t-  utter-- 
"  discordant,  there  have  been 
who  prophesied  a  great  Democratic  re- 


>:..'w  York.  i.h,_-  recantation  was  most  complete, 
the  event  shows  the  Union  ranks  firmer  than 
ever.  In  Vermont,  a  model  community  of 
sober,  intelligent,  and  industrious  citizens,  the 
humbug  of  "Democracy"  is  utterly  exposed. 
hi  the  coatiiics  ..f  <':.iliioruia  the  Union  mem- 
bers of  the  Legislature  are  generally  elected. 
In  New  Jersey  the  Union  men  work  with  a 
cheerful  vigor  and  a  resolution  which  no  re- 
verse can  dannt,  which  will  soon  redeem  that 
State  from  its  long  subservience  to  a  narrow 
and  inhuman  policy.  In  Ohio,  the  Union  party 
will  gladly  show  again  its  overwhelming  scorn 
of  Vallandigham  and  the  doctrines  of  the  re- 
bellion. In  Pennsylvania  nothing  can  defeat 
the  Union  party  but  its  own  intestine  quarrels, 
which  are  unhappily  very  bitter.  And  if  in 
New  York  the  Albany  ticket  should  be  elected, 
instead  of  proving  a  Democratic  reaction,  it 
will  establish  the  truth  that  the  party  of  that 
name  has  no  chance  whatever  except  in  the 
total  surrender  of  the  Democratic  platform. 

Meanwhile  every  voter  will  naturally  ask 
himself  what  is  gained  by  deserting  an  organ- 
:-.:i!oi!  which  itav  always  held  (io-v  principle 
i'rom  conviction  for  an  organization  which  has 
steadily  derided  them  until  the  war  put  them 
beyond  question?     Or,  granting  the  sincerity 


the  leopard  has  changed  its  spots,  why  shouh 
the  veterans  of  long  and  victorious  campaign 
be  discarded  for  the  raw  recruits  of  yesterday 
The  Democratic  syren  may  sing,  but  we  doubt 
if  she  can  persuade  Andrew  Johnson  to

class  of  citizens?  Such  an  argument  justifies 
the  closest  oligarchy,  and  denies  that  govern- 
ments justly  exist  by  the  consent  of  the  gov- 
erned. The  arbitrary  disqualification  of  any 
class  whatever  menaces  the  peace  of  the  whole 
community.  Would  Connecticut  disqualify  all 
the  educated  and  moral  men  of  her  population 
who  are  over  sixty  years  of  age  ?  The  govern- 
ment which  from  its  manifest  justice  is  in- 
trenched in  the  affections  of  all  its  people  is 
the  strongest  in  the  world. 

The  Democratic  party  has  been  nowhere 
more  malignant  in  its  hostility  to  equal  human 
rights,  or  more  bitterly  opposed  to  the  defense 
of  the  Union  and  Government  against  an  oli- 
garchy, than  in  Connecticut.      Its  principles

THE  ASSISTANT  TREASURY. 

The  leading  financial  institution  in  the  Unit- 
ed States  is  the  United  States  Assistant  Treas- 
ury at  New  York.  Though  it  is  only  an  as- 
sistant treasury,  and  the  Treasury  proper  is  at 
Washington,  yet  the  transactions  of  the  former 
are  so  vastly  greater  in  volume  than  those  of 
the  latter  that  the  chief  work  of  the  Washing- 
ton office  is  keeping  record  of  the  business 
done  by  its  New  York  branch.  Nineteen- 
twentieths  of  the  public  creditors  are  paid 
here ;  nearly  all  the  public  loans  are  disposed 
of  here ;  by  far-  the  greater  part  of  the  revenue 
from  customs  and  taxes  is  received  here ;  and 
here  is  paid,  on  the  days  fixed  by  law,  the  in- 
terest on  $2,000,000,000  of  United  States  se- 
curities. A  business  of  from  $3, 000,000  to

quietly,  and  without  errors  or  disputes.  No 
institution  in  the  city  is  better  worth  inspection 
than  the  Sub-Treasury ;  and  be  it  said,  in  sim- 
ple justice,  no  man  is  more  willing  to  have  it

The  vaults  are  a  sight  which  can  not  be  wit- 
nessed elsewhere  in  this  country.  There  are 
two  of  them ;  but  one  is  comparatively  empty, 
as  it  only  holds  some  $10,000,000.  The  other 
.  <un  a  hi-,  over  sixty  mi  I  lions  of  dollars,  one  half 
in  coin,  the  other  half  in  paper.  How  many 
readers  have  ever  seen  a  million  dollars  in  pa- 
per or  in  gold?  We  remember  one  of  the 
oldest  of  our  Judges,  a  man  of  large  experi- 
ence and  profound  wisdom,  interrupting  a  party 
of  talkers,  who  were  chattering  about  millions 
of  gold,  with  the  naive  questions : 

"How  big  is  a  million  of  gold?  Would  it 
rest  on  thi*  table?  Would  it  go  under  this 
chair  ?  How  many  men  would  it  take  to  carry 
it  ?     What  does  it  look  like  ?" 

His  Honor  might  have  gratified  his  curiosity 
by  a  visit  to  the  Sub-Treasury.  There  thirty 
millions  of  gold  lie  dormant,  awaiting  the  resur- 
rection of  specie  payments.  They  are  put  up 
in  bags  containing  $5ooo  each,  and  weigh- 
ing say  45  pounds.  These  bags  are  piled  one 
upon  another  in  closets,  which  line  the  inner 
wall  of  the  vault:  a  hundred  bags  fill  a  closet. 
When  filled  the  door  is  closed,  locked,  and 
sealed  with  the  cashier's  seal ;  a  ticket  attached 
specifies  that  in  that  dark  and  narrow  hole 
$5oo,ooo  in  gold  lie  hidden.  Fifty  or  more 
such  closets  may  be  seen,  duly  closed,  locked,

forgets  that  the  possession  of  a  few  Bueh  bags 
would  realize  his  life-long  dream  of  material 

These  bags  are  the  product  of  customs'  du- 
ties. Every  day,  between  3  aud  4  o'clock,  a 
little  hand-cart,  ark-shaped,  painted  red,  cov-  • 
ered  over,  and  locked*  may  be  seen  traveling 
up  Wall  Street,  propelled  by  two  stout  men, 
and  wending  its  way  from  the  Custom-house  to 
the  Sub-Treasury.  There  are  but  two  men 
ostensibly  engaged  in  pushing  the  little  red 
cart.  But  a  careful  observer  may  discover  two 
other  men,  likewise  stout  and  very  watchful, 
who  lounge  up  the  sidewalk  on  a  parallel  line. 
They  look  as  if  they  carried  revolvers.  In 
these  days,  when  the  customs'  duties  are  heavy, 
the  little  red  ark  sometimes  contains  $750,000 
—a  prize  worth  the  attention  of  robbers.  But 
it  is  never  attacked.  When  it  reaches  the  Sub- 
Treasury  it  is  unlocked,  and  the  bags  handed 
in.  Each  bag  is  then  counted  by  the  Sub- 
Treasurer's  clerks.  They  count  with  both 
hands,  and  with  a  rapidity  and  accuracy  truly 
wonderful.  They  seem  to  possess  a  sort  of  in- 
stinct, the  product  of  long  experience,  which 
enables  them  to  discover  a  false  coiu  at  a 
glance.  Pieces  which  have  been  split  open, 
the  insideB  filed  out,  the  cavity  filled  with  iri- 
dium, the  two  halves  soldered  together,  and 
remilled  on  the  edges,  are  so  like  genuine  coins 
that  the  best  judges  are  often  deceived  by  them. 
They  weigh  precisely  the  same  as  genuino  coins. 
They  are  precisely  the  right  size.  They  have 
the  ring  of  pure  gold.  Their  external  surface 
throughout  is  gold.  Yet  these  counterfeits  are 
detected  at  a  glance  by  the  experienced  clerks 
of  the  Treasury.  It  used  to  be  said  of  Mr.  E. 
H.  Birdsall,  the  present  Cashier,  that  when 
was  a  clerk  he  could,  in  emptying  a  $5ooo

quantity  of  silver  in  the  Sub- 
Treasury,  in  bags  and  kegs,  but  after  one  has 
been  handling  millions  of  gold  it  seems  a  poor 
sort  of  metal.  A  silver  closet  holds  $4o,ooo  ; 
there  are  a  few  dozen  of  them  full  to  repletion. 
Within  a  short  time  considerable  amounts  of 
silver  have  arrived  here  from  New  Orleans — the 
product  of  duties  or  of  the  Confiscation  Act. 
Many  of  the  coins  are  rusted,  and  dingy,  and 
it  is  shrewdly  suspected  that,  during  the  dark 
days  of  rebel  supremacy,  these  pieces  slept  the 
sleep  of  the  just  in  damp  underground  holes. 
One  of  the  New  Orleans  banks  is  known  to

GENERAL  SLOCUM'S  ORDER 

The  order  of  General  Slooum  o 
late  u i.' turn  of  Governor  ShARKET, 
pi,  is  full  of  interest.  The  General  says  that 
Mississippi  was  one  of  the  first  and  fiercest  of 
ihu  rebel  States  and  has  submitted  from  ex- 
haustion, and  that  the  United  States  earnestly 
desire  to  restore  it  to  its  former  position.  The 
duty  of  keeping  order  devolves  upon  the  mili- 
tary force,  and  the  opposition  to  the  laws  de- 
fining the  rights  of  freedmen  is  so  strong  in 
many  parts  of  the  State  that  the  duties  of  the 
military  are  very  delicate  and  difficult,  but  that

Thereupon,  say.-;  Genera]  Si.ocom,

county,  urging  "the  young  men  of  the  State, 
who  have  so  distinguished  themselves  for  gal- 
lantly," to  respond  to  his  call — meaning  there- 
by, says  the  General,  those  who  have  "  scarce- 
ly laid  down  the  arms  with  which  they  have 
been  opposing  our  Government."  This  force, 
he  adds,  would  be  larger  than  his  own,  and 
would  inevitably  provoke  collisions  with  the 
colored  troops.  "It  is  to  be  hoped,"  says 
General  Slocom,  "that  the  day  will  soon  come 
when  the  young  men  called  upon  by  Governor 
Sharkey  and  the  colored  men  now  serving  the 
United  States  will  zealously  co-operate  for  the 
preservation  of  order  and  the  promotion  of  the

Northern  men,  Government 
couriers,  and  colored  people.  Southerners 
halted  by  the  outlaws  are  allowed  to  escape 
upon  stating  that  fact,  and  then  they  refuse  to 
say  who  stopped  them ;  and  Governor  Sharkey 
suggests  the  arming  of  these  very  people  as  a 
remedy  against  disorder.  Therefore  the  Gen- 
eral orders  that  no  such  arming  be  allowed, 
and  that  all  persons  who  have  information  of 
outlaws  and  refuse  to  give  it  shall  be  arrested 
and  held  for  trial. 

Thereupon  Governor  Sharkey  appealed  to 
the  President,  who  revoked  the  order  of  Gen-

The  same  gentleman  concluded  his  speech 
by  saying  that  they  were  sure  the  President 
intended  "  to  maintain  Southern  rights  in  the 
Union."  This  is  one  of  those  perilous  follies 
which,  if  the  war  has  not  annihilated,  the  war 
will  have  to  be  fought  over  again.  We  wish 
the  President  had  said  to  them—"  Gentlemen, 
there  are  no  Southern  rights,,  nor  Western 
rights,  nor  Eastern  rights,  nor  Northern  rights 
in  the  Union.  There  are  no  sectional  rights 
whatever.  As  President,  I  know  no  other  rights 
than  those  of  the  "people  of  tlie  United  States

and  Illinois  which  waited  upon  th3  President 
after  his  elevation  in  April  had  told  him  that 
they  depended  upon  him  to  maintain  Western 
rights  in  the  Union;  and  the  delegations  from 
New  England  had  spoken  a  good  word  for  Eas- 
tern rights,  wo  trust  the  President  would  have

The  phrase  "Southern  Rights"  is  too  sug- 
gestive of  the  cry  that  preceded  the  rebellion 

men  who  took  part  in  it.  The  main  interest 
of  the  country  at  present  is  the  rights  of  the 
United  States.  If  delegations  from  the  unor- 
ganized States  come  to  express  their  loyalty  to 
those  rights  and  their  sincere  desire  to  secure 
them,  they  will  be  more  welcome  to  the  country 
than  if  they  come  to  repeat  the  falsehoods  ami 
follies  which  plunged  us  into  war.  Mr.  M'Fah- 
land  and  his  delegation  should  remember  that 
their  country  is  not  "the  South,"  nor  Virginia, 
nor  Georgia.  It  is  the  United  States.  Re- 
membering that,  let  them  talk  accordingly,  and

Dr.  DRAPER'S  NEW  WORK. 

"Thoughts  on  the  Future  Civil  Policy  of 
America"  is  the  title  of  the  new  work  by  Dr. 
John  W.  Draper,  just  published  by  the  Har- 
pers, and  it  is  one  of  the  most  valuable  con- 
tributions ever  made  to  our  political  literature.

JTHERN  RIGHTS.' 


We  are  glad  that  a  numerous  delegation  of 
gentlemen  from  the  unorganized  States  lately 
called  upon  the  President,  and  we  hope  that 
many  more  will  call.  It  is  right  and  wise  that 
they  should  acquaint  themselves  personally 
with  his  views,  and  by  actual  conversation  and 
observation  learn  the  spirit  of  loyal  citizens. 

nor  an  unforgiving  temper.  They  will  find 
that  all  good  citizens  understand  the  difficidties 
of  the  situation.  They  will  encounter  notliing 
but  satisfaction  at  the  result  of  the  war,  and 
a  very  decided  determination — in  which  we 
trust  those  gentlemen  share— to  avoid,  as  far 
as  possible,  all  unpleasant  possibilities  of  future 
trouble. 

But  it  is  very  desirable  that  certain  misap- 
prehensions and  false  traditions  should  be  set 
aside  at  once.  The  late  delegation  from  nine 
States  was  introduced  to  the  President  by 
Mr.  M'Fakland,  of  Virginia.  The  gentlemen 
composing  it  were,  as  we  understand,  lately  in 
arms,  ond  upon  principle,  against  the  Union

the  Jewish  tenacity,  in  one  of  the  most  brill-

children  escaped  from  the  State  through  innumera- 
ble- perils,  has  a  very  clear  conception  of  some  his- 
torical facta.  In  a  late  description  of  her  sufferings 
she  casually  remarked:  "  I  look  upon  a  rebel  as  a

My  little  one  was  a  great  comfort.     She  looked  at

times gladdened  and  sometimes  saddened  my  heart. 
Her  constitution  was  very  frail.  She  had  been  a 
fat,  dimpled  baby  enough ;  but  after  she  could  run 

transparent.  But  she  was  never  really  ill  until  the 
summer  two  years  after  her  father  died.  Then  she 
became  so  delicate  that  she  required  a  great  deal 
of  my  time.  I  thought  at  first  that  it  was  because 
she  was  cutting  a  long-delayed  double  tooth,  but

THE  MYSTERIOUS  SKETCH. 

■    Nearly  opposite  the  church  of  St.  Sebald,  in 

Nuremberg,  stands  an  ancient  inn,  narrow  and  lofty, 
with  an  indented  gable,  small  dusty  casements,  and 


running  short,  I  was  obliged  to  take  portraits— and 
such  portraits !  Stout  old  ladies,  each  with  her  cat 
on  her  lap  ;  rosy  burgomasters,  wigged  and  cocked- 
hatted— all  plentifully  and  impartially  illuminated 

ochre  and  vermilion.

up  stairs  to  my  attic,  Master  Rapp  called  after  me  : 

Your  bill' now  amounts  to  one  hundred  and  sixty 
florins,  ten  kreutzers.  Pray,  when  am  I  likely  to 
see  the  color  of  your  money?" 

I  muttered  some  sort  of  indistinct  reply,  and 
hastoning  to  my  room  locked  the  door,  and  threw 
myself,  dressed  as  I  was,  on  my  bed.  Revolving 
my  miserable  position  in  my  mind,  all  the  genuine 
feeling  for  art,  all  the  high  aspirations  after  excel-

—mere  outlines,  with  a  dash  of  color  here  and 
there — but  singularly  free  and  decisive.  One 
represented  a  fragment  of  Cyclopean  wall,  tapes-

medieval  tower,  wish  ragged  storm-clouds  drift-

against  a  blood-red  sky.  All  were  instinct  with

SOUTH  CAROLINA  CONVENTION. 

The  South  Carolina  Convention  was  opened 
y  a  Message  from  Provisional  Governor  Perry, 

daily  papers,  and  has  undoubtedly  been  widely 

nd  pondered.    Doe3  any  thoughtful  man, 

who  earnestly  desires  the  pacification  of  tho 

ntry,  believe  that  the  spirit  of  that  Message 


necied  with  indignant  incredulity.    Mure- 

ganic  law  of  South  Carolina  prohibits  shivery 
forever,  South  Carolina  can  not  hope  to  resume 
her  place  in  the  Union,  We  can  imagine  tho 
expressive  silence  of  the  Convention  as  these 

But  from  such  a  positive  statement  of  the 

actual  situation  at  the  outset  what  might  nat- 
urally have  been  expected  of  the  rest  of  the 
Message?     Might  we  not  have  looked  for  a 


.-.to.  a*  Governor  Pi.ru.  do,-,

would  have  coiTectcd  this  error  of  Governor 

peats  the  enormous  and  false  abortion  of 
Judge  Taney  in  the  Dred  Scott  decision. 

Docs  Governor  Perky  suppose  that  the  men 
who  signed  the  Declaration  of  Independence 
did  not  kuow  the  meaning  of  the  words  they 
used?  "All  men"  no  more  means  all  white 
men  than  all  red  men.  It  means  exactly  what 
it  says.  The  contemporary  words  of  the  lead- 
ers of  the  Revolution  show  what  they  thought 
upon  this  subject.  And  as  to  the  Constitution 
Judge  TANEY  himself  can  not  help  admitting 
that  every  person  who,  upon  its  adoption  was  a 
citizen  of  any  State,  became  a  citizen  of  the 
United  States;  and  at  that  time  colored  per- 
sons were  equal  citizens  in  New  Hampshire, 
Massachusetts,  New  York,  New  Jersey,  and 
North  Carolina.  "If  so,"  says  Judge  Curtis, 
controverting  the  Chief  Justice,  "itia  not  true 
in  point  of  fact  that  the  Constitution  was  made 

exclusively  by  the  white  race and  as  free

Why  the  President  should  suppose  that  the

and  was  as  much  respeeted  by  them  as  by  those

Tyler  "  tylerized"  to  secure  a  second  term. 
He  lost  the  second  term,  and  gained  universal

If  there  were  any  doubt  of  this  rather  evident

cousin.  "This  will  bo  a  lesson  to  vou  to  be  more 
wirle-awake  for  the  future." 

Surprised.'    Language  can  not  express  my  fcel- 

Where  were  the  roses  and  lilies  which,  a  minute 
bleft?     Where  were  the  well-arched  eyebrows? 

Cone,  gone,  all  gone! 

And  in  the  place  of  the  apparently  beautiful  girl 
who  bud  so  captivated  my  fancy  there  now  rose 
from  the  grass  a  middle-aged  woman,  with  a  sallow 
fa..-,  dripping,  sandy  hair,  and  a  wrinkled  forehead 
utterly  devoid  of  eyebrows !  The  only  traces  that 
were  left  of  the  recent  charms  of  Serapbina  Stub- 
bles were  the  long  golden  curls  lying  at  my  feet. 

Was  I  dreaming?  Had  I  suddenly 'lost  niv 
senses?  Or  was  tho  6cenc  on  which  I  gazed  a 
dreadful  reality? 

For  some  minutes  I  was  incapable  of  speech  or 
action ;  there  I  stood,  motionless  as  a  statue,  look- 
ing upon  tho  creature  who  had  so  basely  deceived

scene  so  repulsive  and  so  painful  to  me! 

I  was  never  taken  in  again  in  that  way,  reader.

trees  and  myrtles,  and  its  boxes  of  nasturtiums  and 
mijinontictte,  was  her  only  play-ground.  From

BESSIE  BEAGLE  AND  MB.  WIN-

Thirty  years  ago  I  was  in  the  midst  of  my  first

Hint,  old  Mrs.  Beagle,  I  then  boarded.  She  was 
•no  beauty,  but  a  trim,  tidy  dumpling  of  n  girl,  with 


dessert,  and  rang  twice  some  mornings  for  clean 
towels.  Bridget  and  old  Mis.  Beagle  attended  to 
his  interests,  not  Bessie.  (Joed  little  Bessie  who,

Bessie. 

It  was  strange  bow  plain  the  latter  grew  by  c

of  Tennessee,  the  second  son  of  Isaac-  Qtjistarp. 
Esq.,  was  born  December  22,  1824;  was  educated 
in  the  city  bf  New  York;  became  a  student  in  the 
office  of  the  lato  Dr.  Valentine  Mott  ;  and  grad- 
uated in  medicine  at  the  University  of  New  York 
in  1846.  After  spending  a  year  in  Bellevue  Hos- 
pital ho  was  appointed  one  of  the  physicians  to  the 
New  York  City  Dispensary,  which  position  he  held 
but  a  short  time,  when  he  removed  to  Georgia. 
Devoting  himself  to  the  study  of  his  profession, 
and  contributing  largely  to  the  medical  journals 
of  the  day,  he  was,  in  1851,  called  to  the  chair  of

BELZORO  GOLD  MINE,  VIRGINIA. 

Much  public  attention  has  hcon  recently  drawn 
to  the  vast  fields  of  undeveloped  mineral  wealth  ex- 
isting over  a  largo  portion  of  the  surface  of  Virginia, 
in  gold,  silver,  tin,  copper,  and  almost  every  variety 
of  material  known  to  the  mineralogist.  If  but  on- 
tithe  be  tine  of  what  is  not  only  announced  by 
recent  explorers  ns  coiniup  under  their  own  observ- 
ation,  but  what  is  gravely  asserted  by  scientific

known  to  extend,  in  one  unbroken  line,  from  the 
border  of  Maryland  to  the  southwestern  extremity 
of  North  Carolina,  and  running  parallel  with  the 
Allcghanies  over  a  distance  of  five  hundred  miles, 
there  is  perhaps  no  single  spot  more  replete  with 
mineral  wealth  than  Belzoro— not  less  from  what 
has  been  actually  linind  and  done  upon  it,  than  from 
all  those  inevitable  signs  respecting  which  no  true 
mineralogist  or  geologist  can  ever  he  deceived.

from  Bel  Oro  (tine  gold),  bears  every  proof  of  high

Why  is  General  Slocum  ready  on  the  2d  of 
October  to  do  what  on  the  24th  of  August  he 
ily  said  "would  bring  about  a  collision 
e,  and  increase  in  a  tenfold  degree  the 
hies  that  now  beset  the  people?"  Why 
willing  to  wink  at  outrages  "against 
Northern  men,  Government  courier?,  and  col- 
ored people?" 

~  j  reason  is  plain  and  painful.  It  is  be- 
General  Slocum  is  now  the  candidate  of 
John  A.  Green,  of  the  New  York  Daily  News, 
of  every  haughty  unrepentant  rebel  in  the  un- 
'i'gani/ed  States,  and  of  every  one  of  those  peo- 
ple whom  he  denounced  as  "outlaws" and  "vil-

These  arc  the  men  who  built  and  supported 
e  Chicago  platform  last  year.     They  cried 

ley  demand  the  same  surrender  now.  Do 
e  people  of  New  York  trust  this  spirit  and 
ese  men  any  more  this  year  than  the  last? 
oes  it  occur  to  General  Slocusi  that  he  in-

In  the  same  speech  Mr.  Van  Buren  asked:

gru.l  .1i«tnrb.mce  and  distraction  of  the  good  sub-

lowed upon  Bdnvan  resolutely  refusing  to  retract 
or  give  any  promise  not  to  preach  is  equally  char- 
acteristic Of  the  time:  Then  said  the-  magistrate, 
"Hear  my  judgment!  You  must  be  had  back 
again  to  prison,  and  there  lie  for  three  months  fol- 
lowing: and  at  three  months'  end,  if  you  do  not 
submit  to  go  to  church  to  hear  divine  service,  and 
leave  your  preaching,  you  must  he  hamshed  the

These  threats  were  certainly  not  executed  to  the 
fiiH ;  but  simply  for  conscience'  sake,  and  in  the 
cau-c  of  religious  libertv,  John  Buy y an  endured 
on  imprisonment  of  twelve  year*  in  Bedford  Jail, 

period  the  strictness  of  his  confinement  was,  how- 
ever, much  relaxed.  Like  Joseph  in  Egypt,  he 
found  a  friend  in  "the  keeper  of  the  prison,"  the 
jailer  allowing  him  to  he  almost  like  a  prisoner  at 
large,  and  his  Family  and  friends  t.-  o-i;  him.  Ik

seven  years  Bi'XYAn  was  closely  confined.  Out 
ol'evil  Ciime  good,  however.  To  this  imprisonment 
we  doubtless  owe  ' '  The  Pilgrim's  Progress"— a  book 
probably  more  widely  read  than  any  other,  save  the 
Bible;  for  not  only  is  it  read  wherever  the  English 
language  is  spoken,  hut  it  has  been  translated,  to

actively  employed  to  compose  "The  Pilgrim's  Pro-

the  details  of  that  wonderful  allegory. 

Of  the  picture  engraved  little  further  need  be 
said  bv  wav  of  illustration— the  artist  tells  his  story

There  was  a  general  rush  for  the  door,  amid-t  winch 

with  affright.      I  closed  the   Bible  before 

me  and  proceeded  up  the  side  stairway  to  the  little

still  the  bell  tolled  steadily  and  solemnly.     Taking 

from  its  bracket  I  led  the  wav  to  the  belfry. 

The  bell  hung  undisturbed,  high  up  in  the  gloom

it   I  laughed  heartily 

stroyed  it,  and,  to  remove  all  possibility  of  its  fur- 
ther operation,  I  descended  and  nailed  the  scuttle 
firmly  in  its  place.  Then  I  locked  the  attic  door 
and  put  the  kev  in  my  pocket. 

Tiie  boy  who  swept  out  the  chapel  was  below  en- 
gaged in  the  discharge  of  his  duties.  I  sternly 
called  him  to  me.     He  dropped  the  broom  and  ap- 

"  So  it  was  von   *  II  i 

"Me,  Sir?     No,  Sir,  it  wasn't  me.      What  was?" 

'■Very  well,"  said  I;  "  it  doesn't  matter.  I  have 
nailed  down  the  scuttle.  Hold  your  tongue  about 
it,  that's  all." 

■•Yes,  Sir."  said  Tom,  with  such  an  expression 

bewildered  myself.      It  was  clear 


I  caused  a  notice  to  he  inserted  in  the  Sehinnipriyn 
h-urah,  which  appeared  on  Wednesday,  to  the  cf- 
:t  that  the  Kev.  Henry  Smith  would  again  preach 
the  New  Chapel  on  the  following  Sunday,  and 


aisles  were  literally  packed  with  persons  standing, 
and  even  the  steps  leading  to  the  low  platform  that 
served  me  as  a  pulpit  were  occupied  as  seats.  Tli 
veiv  chair  behind  me  I  permitted  to  bo  taken  by 
feeble-looking  widow  woman  of  the  name  of  Snu 
fle,  who  bad  known  me  when  I  was  a  boy,  and  wh 
had  lately  become  a  trance  medium,  as  I  had  been 
informed,  who  removed  the  chair  to  a  point  as  re- 
mote from  where  I  stood  as  she  could  pos-ibly  get 
it— which  was  not  off  the  platform,  however. 

My  sermon  was  a  scathing  denunciation  of  Spir- 
itualism. I  ridiculed  the  idea  that  spirits  from 
another  world  should  descend  to  the  absurdity  of 
knocking  on  walls,  0f  sawing  on  fiddles,  of  tipping 
over  tables,  of  ringing  bells.  ;,nd  engaging  general-

At  the  same  moment  the  mists  along  the  coast 
began  to  rise  in  long  vaporous  lines  about  the 
sides  of  the  mountain;  and,  by-and-by,  as  they 
drifted  slowly  away  to  the  leeward,  a  long  rocky 
promontory  that  looked  like  an  island,  but  was, 
in  fact,  connected  with  the  main  land  by  a  sandy 
flat,  became  dimly  visible  far  away  at  sea.

REORGANIZATION. 

IE  Doihj  Transcript,  of  Augusta 


■  asion  seems  to  justitv.  says  Hint  ive  serioutly 
inslit  "upon  the  acreiitaneo  of  the  trite  and 

,,11  lien— white,  red,  and  black— ere  born  free 
nr.J  equal,  when  any  body  who  knows  any  thing 
of  the  family  relation  never  saw  a  child  born 
into  a  state  of  freedom  or  found  equality  even 
among  the  little  circle  who  acknowledge  the 
same  parentage." 

The  Tnmcript  it  mistaken  in  supposing  that 
ti,  doctrine  of  tiie  natural  ri^litsof  man  is  bor- 
nvved  from  Locke,  or  is  exploded,  or  is  any

the  governed;  and  we  hold  that  every  political 
community  oerng  morally  bound  to  defend  ail 
the  natural  rights  of  its  individual  members 
should  impose  no  qualification  for  an  equal 
.  jice  in  the  government  which  excludes  any 
great  number  of  them  or  which  may  not  he 
readily  attained  by  all.  Hence  nothing  was 
impounder  or  mere  un-American  than  Mr. 
L'.h'ulas'b  doctrine  of  Squatter  Sovereignty, 
n  hich  was  nathing  but  an  assertion  of  the  right 
of  a  numerical  majority  to  deprive  a  minority 
oi  their  natural  rights.  He  confounded  might 
with  right.  But  as  good  morals  and  good  pol- 
io] arc  at  last  identical,  the  government  which 

citizen  will  bo  the  most  permanent,  the  most

The  TVtmscript  further  says:  "It  is  ineffa- 
blr  mean  to  urge  on  a  war. for  the  sake  of  the 
Union,  as  Hakfes's  man  has  dono;  and  then 
n  lien  the  debated  States  are  returning,  in  the 
observance  of  all  the  conditions  required  by  the 
Executive,  to  attempt  to  keep  them  out  of  the  Union

terror."  TheZVanjcnyisagainmistaken.  "Wo 
have  no  more  desire  to  keep  any  State  ont  of 
the  Union  than  the  President  has.  We  wish

son, who  have  never  doubted  his  fidelity  to  tho 
principles  upon  which  he  was  elected,  and  who 

port  of  him.  It  is  clear  that  he  wishes  to  see 
the  Union  reorganized  upon  the  fundamental 
American  principle  of  equal  rights,  and  that  no 

such  a  principle  is  unpalatable  to  the  whites 
of  the  rebel  States,  he  wishes  to  "give  them 
time  to  understand  their  new  position." 

The  groat  question  before  us,  as  Mr.  Lin-

There  are  over  $600,000,000  of  the  former, 
and  over  $800,000,000  of  the  latter:  there  is 
not  money  enough  in  Wall  Street  to  corner 
either  of  them.  And  though  they  will  not 
fluctuate,  as  the  railway  shares  have  done,  with 
the  ebb  and  flow  of  internal  trade,  they  will 
naturally  be  sensitive  to  changes  in  the  money 
market,  aud  will  probably  feel  tho  effect  of 
political  events  in  a  new  and  marked  degree. 
What  proportion  of  the  Five-Twenty  bonds

is  safe  to  assume,  however,  that  quite  a  large 
amount  are  still  in  first  hands,  and  are  hypoth- 
ecated with  bunks  and  money-lenders.  Of  the 
Seven-Thirties  by  far  tho  greater  part  are  held 
by  national  banks  and  private  bankers,  who 
have  loaned  money  on  them.  All  of  these 
securities  will  be  forced  into  the  market  by  a 
continued  stringency  in  money,  and  the  price 
will  naturally  fall  until  it  reaches  a  point  at 
which  capitalists  will  sell  their  present  invest- 
ments to  buy  them.  At  76,  for  instance,  the

It  must  he  expected,  too,  that  for  souio  years

of  taxes,  and  the  robberv  of  the  public  creditor 
will  be  mooted  even  in  Congress.  Thus  far 
no  person  whose  words  are  worth  attention  has 
even  hinted  at  repudiation.  But  by-and-hy, 
as  the  pressure  of  the  taxes  becomes  mow  se- 
vere,  during  the  period  preceding  tho  resump- 
tion of  specie  payments,  it  may  be  taken  for 
granted  that  knaves  will  try  to  curry  favor  with 
tax-payers  by  advocating  at  least  a  reduction 


inevitable.  Government  bonds  will  fall  when 
the  Democratic  member  from  the  city  of  New

The  swine-herd,  Ho-tl,  having  gone  out  into  the 
-wood  one  morning,  as  bis  manner  was,  to  collect 
food  for  his  hogs,  left  hbj  cottage  in  the  care  of  bis 
eldest  son,  Bo-bo,  a  great  lubberly  boy,  who,  being 
fond  of  playing  with  Are,  as  younkcrs  of  his  ago 
commonly  are,  let  some  sparks  escape  into  a  bundle 
of  straw,  which,  klndiing  quickly,  spread  the  con- 
flagration over  erery  part  of  their  poor  mansion,  till 
it  was  reduoed  to  ashes.  Together  with  the  cottage 
(a  torry  antediluvian  makeshift  of  a  building  you 

n  tine  litter  of  new-farrowed  pigs,  no  less  than  nine 
in  number,  perished.  China,  pigs  have  been  es- 
teemed a  luxury  al!  over  the  East,  from  the  remot- 
est periods  that  we  read  of.     Bo-bo  was  in  the  ut- 

for  the  sake  of  the  tenement,  which  his  father  and 
he  could  easily  build   up  again  with  a   few  dry 

time,  as  for  the  Iobb  of  the  pigs. 

While  he  was  thinking  what  he  should  soy  to  his 
father,  and  wringing  his  hands  over  the  smoking 
remnants  of  one  of  those  untimely  sufferers,  an  odor 
assailed  his  nostrils  unl'^"  any  scent  which  lie  bad 
before  experienced.  WTat  could  it  proceed  from? 
Not  from  the  burned  cottager-he  had  smelled  that 
before ;  indeed,  this  was  by  no 


fingers,  and  to  cool  them  he  applied  them,  in  his 
booby  fashion,  to  his  mouth.     Some  of  the  crumbs 

uf  the  scorehed  skin  had  tome  away  with  his  fingers, 

indeed,  for  before  him  no  man  had  known  it)  he 
tasted— crackling .'  Again  lie  felt  and  fumbled  at  the 
pig.  It  did  not  burn  him  so  much  now,  still  he 
licked  his  fingers  from  a  sort  of  habit.     The  truth 


was  (he  pig  that  smelled  >.,.  ant!  the  pig  ;i..n  , 
so  delicious ;  and  surrendering  himself  up  t 
new-born  pleasure,  he  fell  to  tearing  up  whole 


ch  Uo-uo  needed  not  any  more  man  it  tney  naa

>A  in  his  lower  regions  had  rendered  him  quite 
ous  to  any  inconvenient ss  be  might  feel  in  those 


sensible  of  his  situation,  something  like  the  follow- 
ing dialogue  ensued : 

"  You  graceless  whelp,  what  hare  you  got  there

1  had  Just  one  year  of  pure,  bright  happint 
given  to  me  by  the  Lord  when  I  was  a  young  fellt 
of  twenty-one.  He  took  it  away  again  when  1 
saw  fit— inn v bo  I  didn't  deserve  it;  but  I'm  sure 
made  me  none  the  worse  while  it  lasted,  for  it  h 
made  me  better,  just  thinking  of  it,  ever  since.

Earl  Russell,  better  known  in  history  as  Lord 
John  Russell,  is  the  third  son  of  John,  sitfh  Duke 
of  Bedford.  His  mother  was  the  daughter  of  the 
fourth  Viscount  Torrington.  He  was  born  at 
Mayfair,  August  18,  1792.  After  a  preparatory 
course-  of  study  at  Sunbury  and  at  "Westminster 
School,  he  completed  his  scholastic  education  at  the 
University  of  Edinburgh,  where  he  was  for  some

In  1813,  after  the  formation  of  the  Liverpool 
Ministry,  Lord  John  Russell  entered  Parliament 
as  member  from  Tavistock.  The  Whigs  at  this 
time  possessed  great  influence,  though  not  in  office. 
One  of  the  first  "  hits"  made  by  Lord  John  was  an 
eloquent  speech  on  Foreign  Treaties,  which  imme- 
diately gave  him  a  high  place  among  Parliamentary

nd  the  Times  officially  repeats  the  statement. 
British  neutrality,  under  the  present  British 
nws,  swept  United  States  commerce  from  the 
icean.  The  chief  offender  was  the  Alabama, 
nd  the  Britisli  Government  declares  that  no 
eparation  or  compensation  for  her  ravages 
vill  bo  made.  It  is  a  simple  case  of  inter-

THE  SIMPLE  QUESTION. 


Amend 


..■os-.  sind  whether  the  Emancipa 
ment,  the  cardinal  point  of  President  Johnson's 
policy,  .shall  prevail.  The  Democratic  Lcjrslu- 
turc  of  New  Jersey  rejected  the  Amendment  as 
it  refused  to  allow  soldiers  to  vote.  The  ora- 
tors of  the  Democratic  party  in  New  York  are 
such  gentlemen  as  Mr.  Cox,  who  voted  against 
the  Amendment  in  Confess,  and  Mr.  Seymour, 
who  publicly  declared  that  if  the  Union  could 

Union  ought  to  bo  dissolved. 

Is  there  any  reason  why  a  loyal  citizen  who 

lias  faithfully  and  steadily  supported  the  war 
should  withdraw  his  sympathy  from  the  men 
who  have  supported  it  with  him,  and  turn  for

Jersey.  In  the  latter  State  the  open  oppo- 
sition of  Mr.  Runyon,  the  Democratic  candi- 
date for  Governor,  to  the  President's  policy, 
and  the  fact  that  he  is  supported  by  those  who 

irne  men  of  New  Jersey  arc  working  with  un- 
tiring zeal,  and  their  prospects  were  never  so 


ieept 


In  New  York  the  question  is  not  less  simple. 
If  the  platforms  are  similar,  the  voter  will  ask 
himself  what  are  the  antecedents  and  character 
and  probable  intentions  of  both  parties.  Has 
the  Democratic  party  been  the  faithful  friend 
and  supporter  of  the  country  during  the  war, 
or  has  it  been  virtually  its  enemy?  Has  the 
Union  party  faltered  in  the  war,  or  does  it  show 
any  incapacity  under  the  leadership  of  the  Presi- 
dent whom  it  elected  to  deal  with  the  great 
problem  of  reorganization  ?  Which  of  the  two 
more  likely  to  yield  every  point  to  the

CROTON  WATER. 

The  Commissioners  of  this  Department  have 
at  last  made  their  selection  of  the  ground  for 
the  first  reservoir  for  storing  water  to  be  sup- 
plied to  the  Croton  dam  at  such  periods  as  the 
stage  of  water  may  require.  The  place  se- 
lected is  about  one  mile  west  of  Brewster's 
Station  on  the  Harlem  Railroad,  on  the  middle 
branch  of  the  Croton,  and  about  three  miles 
above  the  station  at  Croton  Falls,  Its  distance 
from  this  city,  measured  on  the  line  of  the  aque- 
duct and  river,  is  about  58  milei.     It  is  18  miles 

375  feet  above  mean  tide.  The  area  of  this 
new  reservoir  is  corriputed  at  452  acres  and  a 
fraction,  capable  of  holding  4,861,035,136  gal- 
lons, supplied  from  a  drainage  area  of  between 
20  and  21  square  miles.     The  length  of  the

The  politics  of  Louisiana  have  long  been  a  vexa- 
tion of  spirit.  General  Basks  established  a  Gov- 
ernment based  upon  a  small  number  of  voters,  and 
Michael  Hahn  was  elected  Governor.  The  Legis- 
lature afterward  elected  Mr.  Hahn  United  States 
Senator,  but  he  has  never  taken  his  seat.  The

of  President  Johnson  as  it  interprets  them  ;  asserts 
that  ours  is  a  white  man's  Government ;  repudiates 
the  Banks  Constitution  ns  a  creation  of  fraud,  vio- 
lence, and  corruption,  but  yields  to  the  necessity  of 
recognizing  i

the-  people,  and  an  early  general  amnesty  and  prompt 

rotiniii'.ii  of  property. 

The  National  Conservative  Union  party  "proud- 

npproves  President  Johnson's  policy ;  declares  that 
the  allegiance  of  every  American  citizen  i*  primari- 
ly duo  to  the  National  Government  j  repudiates  the

Wells  seems  to  be  more  in  sympathy  with  the  Na- 
tional Democratic  than  the  National  Conservative 
Union  platform. 

The  test  of  the  relative  strength  of  the  parties  will

Sleep,  darling,  sleep!

THE 

New  York  Weekly, 

(77Se  greatest  Story  and  SketcJi  Paper 
published) 

Is  Now  Ready, 

Contains  the  First  Chapter  of  a  New 

and  Beautiful  Story, 

From  the  Pen  of  our  Popular  Contributor, 

LOUIS  LEON. 

It  is  entitled 

The  Hunted  Pioneers; 


A  TALE  OF  FRONTIER  LIFE. 

STRONG  ABE,  whose  adventures  among  the 
linns  form  the  basis  of  these  pages,  belonged 
i  branch  of  the  family  of  the  late  lamented 

President  of  the  United  States. 
3e  went  to  ,the  wildernesses  of  Kentucky, 

ally  killed  by  the  Indians;  but  the  partieu- 
i  of  his  removal  to 
The  Dark  and  Bloody  Grounds ; 
the  settlement  he  founded;    of  the  daring 
:ds   which  won   for  him   the   sobriquet  of 


(the  tonilde  chief  ol  the  rod-skins);  of  his  no- 
ble and  unselfish  conduct  during  years  of  con- 
stant trials  and  danger,  as  the  leader  of  the  Pi- 
oneers—all these  fascinating  and  thrilling  sub- 
jects are  for  the  first  time  fully  represented  and 
displayed  in  this  narration.  We  confidently 
anticipate,  therefore,  that  the  publication  of 

THE  HUNTED  PIONEERS 
will  prove  the  greatest  literary  event  of  the  day, 
attracting  intense  interest  from  one  end  of  oic 
country  to  the  other;  for  not  only  are  the  per* 
sons  and  events  figuring  in  the  tale  of  a  natun 
to  fix  general  attention,  but  they  also  throw  a 
most  interesting  light  upon  the  sterling  man- 
hood  of  the  ancestors  of  our  glorious 
Deceased  President, 


showing  f

whose  character  and  responsibility  were  beyond 
question,  were  firmly  excluded,  for  no  othet 
reason  than  that  they  frequented  the  syna- 
gogue. Prejudices  thus  fairly  recognized  as 
good  grounds  of  exclusion,  they  were  extend- 
ed according  to  the  views  of  members.     One

stock-brokers  did  successfully  for  many  years.

ed their  edict. 

Since  then  the  "Coal-hole"  has  made  way 

for  the  Open  Board  of  Brokers,  a  vigorous  and 

wealthy  institution,  with  ample  rooms,  open  to 

the  public,  and  as  many  members  as  the  New 

York  Stock  Exchange.'    For  some  time  this 

Board  has  done  more  business  than  its  older 

To  cope  with  it  the  Stock  Exchange  has  re- 

neccssurily  excluded  because  be  is  a  Jew  or  a 

German.     It  now  takes  eleven  black  bails  to 

exclude  instead  of  five.     And  members  of  the 

New  York  Stock  Exchange  send  their  orders 

All  this,  we  hear,  is  to  be  changed  when  the 

building.     Then  a  fresh  etfort  will  be  made  to 

«ters  thither,  to  deliver  stocks  sold  there,  to  re- 

ceive stocks  bought  there,  or  to  deal  directly 

All  that  capital  and  prestige  can  do  to  kill  off 

the  Open  Board  will  bo  done,  and  done  with  re- 

lentless purpose.     It  might  have  been  supposed, 

obvious  impolicy  of  provoking  a  conflict  among 

brokers,  that  an  effort  would  have  been  made 

by  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  to  conciliate 

all  parties,  and  to  gather  under  its  ample  roof 

all  responsible  persons  engaged  honestly  in  the 

transaction  of  stock-brokerage  business.     But 

her  of  the  Stock  Exchange  no  man  has  the 

monopoly. 

So,  within  a  month,  dealers  in  stocks  may 

look  out  for  a  "pleasant  fight."     The  Stock 

Exchange  offers  to  the  public  greater  prestige 

than  its  vomiger  rival.      The  latter  proposes  to 

do  the  business  of  brokerage  at  one-half  its  an- 

cient rival's  rates.    The  Stock  Exchange  trans- 

acts its  business  with  closed   doors  in  secret. 

The  Open  Board  admits  every  body  to  its  ses- 

der  his  eyes.     Whether  under  these  circum- 

of  the  market  now  offered  by  the  Open  Board 

—in  obedience  to  the  behests  of  the  New  York 

Stock  Exchange— remains  to  be  seen.

CLERICAL  SOPHISTRY. 

In  the  Weekly  of  October  7  we  published  a 
letter  from  a  friend  in  MemphK  in  which  the 
project  of  a  Memorial  Cathedral  "in  honor  of 
the  Confederate  dead,"  and  a  discourse  in  aid 
of  it  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Rogers,  were  mentioned. 

The  extract  from  the  letter  is  reprinted  in  a 
small  pamphlet,  which  comes  to  us  with  the  re- 
spects of  the  Rev.  J.  W.  Rogers,  setting  fortii 
the  objects  of  this  monument  and  soliciting  suh- 
scriptioris.  To  the  remarks  of  our  correspond- 
ent, Rev.  Mr.  Rogers  says:  "We  render  not 
railing  for  railing,  hut  contrariwise  blessing,  ami 
will  only  add,  by  way  of  defense,  the  following 
sketch  of  Westminster  Abbey."  He  then  pro- 
ceeds to  show  that,  in  the  English  cathedral, 
a  monument  to  one  of  Cromwell's  officers  was 
permitted  to  remain,  and  that  Fox  and  Pitt, 
the  great  rivals,  sleep  side  by  side,  while  a  head 
of  Washington  appears  upon  Andre's  monu- 

Thc  Rev.  Mr.  Rogers  sophisticates  himself 
uselessly.     Westminster  Abbey  is  a  national 
d  church,  in  which,  by  his  own  show- 


ibis  cathedral, 

in  the  words  of  his  pamphlet,  is  to  bo  erected 
by  "the  people  of  the  Southern  States,"  to  the 
memory  of  their  "heroic  dead."    Does  the  Rev. 

cathedral  the  memory  of  Lyon,  of  Reno,  i 
Sedgwick,  of  M'Phekson,  of  Wads  worth,  •  -i 
Wi>TiiRor,  and  Shaw  ;  or  only  of  Stonewall 
Jackson  and  Leonidas  Polk:?  Is  his  monu- 
ment national  or  "Southern?"  Is  it  built  to 
the  glory  of  the  country  or  to  that  of  a  section  ? 
The  answer  is  written  on  the  pamphlet  which 
he  sends  us,  "Please  make  your  offering  to 
some  Confederate  soldier,  naming  him." 

When  the  Rev.  Mr.  Rogers  says  that  the  pro- 
jectors of  St.  Lazarus's  cathedral,  "while  they 


feeling  which  imbues  certain  people  who  are 
not  friendly  to  the  Union  to  call  some  of  the 
Southern  States  their  "country."  The  Rev. 
Mr.  Rogers  should  clearly  understand  that  In 
country  is  the  United  States  of  America.  If 
he  wishes  to  honor  the-  memory  of  men  who

MAKING  HASTE  SLOWLY. 

TrF,  President's  reply  to  the 

Nin-ih  Carolina,  begging  him  to  recognize  that 
Mute  sis  fully  restored  to  the  Union,  and  to  ask 
from  Congress  a  repeal  of  the  test-oath,  con- 
firms what  ive  said  last  week  of  his  views  in  re- 
gard to  the  unorganized  States. 

The  President  replied  courteously  that  the 
North  Carolina  Legislature  had  not  yet  adopted 
the  constitutional  amendment,  which  was  an 
essential  condition  of  restoration,  and  he  de- 
clined to  answer  specifically  the  other  questions 
asked,  saying  only  that  Governor  Holdbn  would 

relieved  from  Washington,  and  not  by  the  re- 
sult of  the  election  ordered  by  the  Provisional 
Convention.  In  a  word,  said  the  President, 
"My  action  must  depend  upon  events." 

The  Secretary  of  Slate,  by  the  President's 
order,  has  also  informed  Provisional  Governor 
Perry  of  South  Carolina  that  he  will  learn 
iViini  Washington  when  lie  is  relieved,  not- 
withstanding   the   election    of  Mr.  Orrj    that 


"m   deemed    peculiarly   important,"  and  that 

These   things   all   show  that  the  measures 

adopted  by  the  President  are  experimental, 
lie  is  testing  the  condition  of  the  unorganized 
States.  He  is  ascertaining  whether  they  faith- 
fully accept  the  situation.  Therefore  he  can 
not  anticipate  events.  While  ho  sees  that 
South  Carolina  merely  repeals  the  ordinance 


adopt  the  amoud- 


sees  .uis-issippi  elei 
Governor  in  place  of  a  technical  Unionist,  and 
in  North  Carolina  the  Union  candidate  de- 
feated ;  while  he  sees  every  where  in  the  South- 

which  warns  him  and  the  country  not  to  aban- 
don them  to  the  mercy  of  State  laws,  the 
President  very  naturally  says  to  Mr.  Reid  of 
North  Carolina  that  his  action  must  depend 
upon  events. 

Meanwhile  it  is  pleasant  to  know  that  the 
policy  of  the  President  receives  the  unquali- 
fied support  of  the  remains  of  the  late  unfortu- 
nate Democratic  party.      Supported  thus  by  his 

good  feeling  must  be  at  hand.

We  trust,  therefore,  that  Congress  will  pro-

conceivable  way  the  spirit  of  State  sovereignty, 
should  be  prevented  from  controlling  the  local

of  an  act  of  secession  is  an  insult  to  the  United 
States,  which  has  spent  the  time  and  money 

sumption  that  such  an  act  can  have  any  valid- 
ity whatever.  Congress  should  require  upon 
this  point  the  most  explicit  declaration  that 

such  an  act  is  absolutely  unconstitutional  and 
intolerable,  and  that  the  only  right  which  any

But  we  have  always  endeavored  to  show 
what  is  now  proved,  that  the  course  of  the 
President  was  tentative  and  not  final.  It  was, 
as  General  Logan  justly  defined  it,  an  experi- 
ment.    The  country  is  committed  to  nothing. 

tained  was  the  real  disposition  of  the  dominant 
class  in  the  rebel  States.  Upon  that  every 
thing  depended.  Was  it  trust-worthy  ?  Was 
it  such  that  the  hand  of  the  United  States  could 
be  soon  and  entirely  withdrawn  ? 

The  President  has  never  said  to  the  people 
in  the  unorganized  Slates  whom  he  summoned 

will  be  restored  as  before."    He  has  merely  said

That  is  the  whole  case.  The  United  States 
must  by  the  necessity  of  the  situation  directly 
control  the  unorganized  States  until  it  is  plain 
that  they  may  be  safely  left  to  their  own  con-

And 'chants  her  matins,  Lord,  to  Thee! 


The  quenchless  Star  of  Liberty, 

That  pours  its  beams  on  every  State— 

For  broken  chains  that  fettered  men, 
For  Pride  cast  down  that  factions  bred 

For  bonds  of  Union  forged  ngain, 

'Twixt   States  at   Freedom's  altar  wed: 


Than  Hint  the  Sword  e'er  wins  or  keeps, 
Our  grateful  songs  shall  never  cease, 

Till  Praise   in  Heath's  sad  silence  sleeps.

came  they  were  married  at  the  old  farm-bouse,  in 
the  presence  of  a  merry  party  of  friends.  But

"  He  came  to  bring  vou  that,  father,"  said  Emily.

That  wasting  form ;  that  glassy,  ex- 
pressionless eye  I  That  fitful  starting 
sleep  !  That  picking  of  the  nose  with 
the  thin  fingers  ;  all  tell  in  plainer 
language  than  pen  can  describe,  that 
worms  are  killing  your  child,  whom 
you  can  save  by  the  timely  use  of  Van 
Deusen's  White  Worm  Confections, 
and  for  which  we  give  you  five  good 
reasons  for  using : 

1.  Children  eat  them  as  they  do 
candy. 

2.  They  drive  out  worms  thorough- 
ly without  pain  ; 

3.  Cleanse  the  stomach  completely ; 

4.  Cure  bowel  and  teething  com- 
plaints ; 

5.  Restore  health  and  vigor — give 
lustre  to  the  eye  and  cheerfulness  to 
the  spirits. 

Never  give  your  children  Colored 
worm  candy. 

If  the  merchants  in  your  place  have 
not  Van  Deusen's  Worm  Confections, 
insist  upon  their  sending  to  us  or 
where  they  purchase  their  medicines, 
and  get  them,  as  they  will  save  the 
lives  of  your  darling  children.

THE  PRESIDENT'S  POSITION. 

IN  its  temper,  simplicity,  and  patriotic  tideli 
rv  the  Message  is  a  model,  and  has  been  re 
craved  with  unprecedented  unanimity  of  appro 
bation.  This  result  is  due,  on  the  one  hand 
to  the  hearty  sympathy  of  the  Union  party  wit 


jealousies  and  dissensions  between  the  Presi 
dent  and  his  friends  l»v  ostentatiously  patroi 
izing  him  and  insisting  that  he  had  deserte 
his  Mends.  But  the  hope  and  the  effort  ai 
vain.  Mr.  Johnson  has  not  Tylerized.  H 
liaa  not  asked  the  rebellion-  Stale-  to  lake  the 


!  declares  himself,  in  bis 


redly  opposed  to  the  who. 
tion  of  "the  Democracy,"  nothing  can  he. 
The  "Democratic"  plan,  announced  last  April, 
was  that  every  rebel  State  should  fling  down 
its  arms  and  send  representatives  to  Congress, 


rive  this  pledge  of  perpetual  1 
."      But  why?      If  the   Stat 

abovanee,  with  their  power*  ;: 


full  possession  nt  their  powers, 
lor  themselves  whether  they 
.  pledge?     Is  it  not  perfectly  j 


national  faith  pledged  to  the  protection  of  the 
personal  rights  of  the  emancipated  class. 

The  tone  of  the  Message  in  discussing  for- 
eign affairs  is  masterly.  Its  calm  and  compac 
statement  of  the  position  of  England  and  the 
inevitable  consequence  of  persistence  in  lies 
peremptory  refusal  even  to  argue  the  quesiioi 
of  the  Alabama  is  similarly  felicitous.  Then 
is  no  threat,  no  bluster.      "If  you  choose  fa

The  scheme,  therefore,  of  conducting  the  war

CENTRALIZATION. 

The  pleasant  chronicle  relates  that  when  the 
doughty  and  pious  cavalier  Don  Quixote  be- 
held afar  off  the  wind-mills  quietly  grinding 
their  grist,  he  thanked  Heaven  for  the  oppor- 
tunity, and  proceeded  to  inflict  summary  and 
direful  punishment  upon  those  wicked  and  mon- 
strous giants.  In  like  manner  some  well-mean- 
ing doctrinaire,  writing  in  the  Evening  Post, 
catches  sight  of  a  tranquil  statement  of  this 
journal  that  the  natural  rights  of  the  citizens 
should  he  protected  by  the  Government,  and, 
commending  his  soul  to  Heaven,  he  scolds  it 
and  sneers  at  it  and  lustily  denounces  it,  under

The  good  Don  Quixote  was  very  valorous 
and  thrust  his  lance  vigorously  into  the  sails  of

and  sat  down  by  the  window  in  the  moonlight. 

The  church  clock  struck  the  hours  one  after  the 
other.  After  eleven  the  old  watchman  began  to 
call  them:  still  I  sat  there  looking  at  the  stars.  And 
when,  in  the  gray  dawn,  I  crept  up  stairs  I  hid  my 
face,  as  though  by  doing  so  I  coidd  hide  my  heart 
from  my  own  soul. 

Ephraim  came  to  see  me  the  nest  Sunday.  Wo 
went  to  church  together,  and  he,  rid  of  his  pet,  was

Then  he  stopped  and  took  my  hand  an

There  are  years  that  seem  to  have  no  event  in 
them,  and  days  so  full  of  changes  that  they  are  like 

Thai  fortnight  during  which  Ephraim  was  ab- 
sent was, a  little  lite  tome,  for  every  evening  brought 
John  Redesdalc  with  it.  Sometimes  wo  walked  out 
together,  sometimes  we  only  sat  a  while  and  chatted. 
But  every  day  he  grew  dearer  to  me,  and  Ephraim 
Tucker  was  only  some  ono  I  longed  to  forget. 

Whether  I  were  wrong  or  right  I  could  not  judge 
then.  There  had  been  no  actual  engagement  be- 
tween Ephraim  and  myself,  yet  he,  I  knew,  thought 
me  bound  to  him,  and  my  conscience  stung  me  on 
that  score.     On  tho  other  side,  I  understood  now 

ing  lor  another  as  I  did,  would  bo  wicked.
